So you actually think that Saddam destroyed his whole stockpile of WMDs? (And incidentally, the existence of these weapons in Iraq prior to '98 is beyond dispute). Assuming you're correct and one of the most brutal dictators in modern history would willingly destroy the most potent weapons in his arsenal, why then didn't he simply allow the weapons' inspectors to confirm it? It would've saved him a lot of trouble -- he might still be enjoying tossing perceived enemies into industrial shredders to this day.
