On my way into work today I saw a lady with a sign posted in her rear window. It said, "inspections work, war won't." I certainly don't want war with Iraq, but I am not so ignorant as to believe that the inspections are working any more now than they have been for the last 12 years. Talk about wearing your ignorance on your sleeve (or rear window as the case may be). To underscore the fact that inspections are failing miserably, despite the fact that Saddam would pretend he is cooperating by destroying a few of his proscribed missiles, the story came out today in the New York Times that new missiles have been found that are designed to carry chemical and biological weapons. If inspections and sanctions were really working, these missiles would not have been "found" but would have been brought forward and destroyed by Saddam himself. The very fact that no smoking gun had been found is evidence that inspections aren't working, because it means that Saddam has his weapons of mass destruction hidden such that they have not been found. I find it incredible that people are so deluded by the anti-war movement retoric that they would just accept it without any logical thought. Is it really a desire for peace or are they just so anti-President Bush that they would lie to themselves to oppose him?
