Everyone on your block knows there is a crack house on the corner. You form a commitee to eliminate it, call in the police and they break in and find... no crack (WMD). But in the basement they find corpses, hundreds of them. What to do. Apologize to the supposed crack dealer (Saddam) and leave. Or arrest him for mass murder. In this case the basement was full of Iraqi soccer players tortured when they lost. It’s enough to know they can play, with their new-found freedom. We don’t need their thanks.
