While I disagree with your premise, I'll give it a shot.
Patsie:"For there is something strange here. If Saddam had these weapons, why did he not surrender them to save himself? If he did not give them up because he intended to use them on us, why did he not use them on us? And if they were destroyed before the war, why did he not simply show us where, and thereby save himself, his family and his regime?"
This 'analysis' by Pat shows an alarming naiveté towards knowledge of Hussein and his history. Of course, I'm quite sure that Pat has no knowledge of any history, as he has quite adequately demonstrated in this column.
