Reader comment on item: Iraq's Weapons & The Road to War
Submitted by Nomi Kaplan (Canada), Jun 7, 2003 at 15:50
I would like someone to explain to me why, if there really were no WMD, Hussein permitted a war to take place and himself ousted from power. Why not just let the darned inspectors in and be done with it?Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
