My take on it is this - and i know it's probably gonna cause an uproar, but here goes...
I think we were right to go to war with Iraq. Saying 'WE' i mean, the UK, America and our allies. Even if we do not find any weapons of mass destruction, the miniute that one mass grave was found justified the whole war.
Let's not forget here that Saddam Hussein was a brutal, evil dictator who tortured and murdered many hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
A few years ago i found myself in the position that i was able to pay my respects at thhe site of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The mass graves there made my heart ache for all the innocents. I was fortunate enough to be able to sign the book of rememberance, and the general concensous of the book was that NOTHING like that should ever be allowed to happen EVER again. But it was. Iraq, Bosnia, Somalia are just a few examples.
Does it really matter that we may never find WOMD? Isn't the fact that we have stopped this brutal regime from continuing justification enough?
IMHO it is.
