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 (WMDs). But in the basement they find hundreds of corpses. What to do. Apologize to the crack dealer (Saddam) and leave. Or lock him up for mass murder. In this case the basement was full of 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.
