Where are the WMD?

The Bush and Blair administrations justified the war in Iraq by stating that Saddam Hussein's government had weapons of mass destruction that posed an imminent threat. In the several weeks since the war ended, there has been no proof that Iraq was an imminent threat. Now members of the Bush administration are saying that Iraqi government may have destroyed weapons of mass destruction before the war. In any case, it is apparent that the Iraqi regime was not the threat that had been claimed and that the UN weapons inspections should have been allowed to continue. Given the lies that have been told, we must question the legality of the war.
