    What if no wmd are found?

    I'd have to agree that this will have some positive effects, putting some fear into other countries like iran and n.korea, but at the same time, the policy of the US turning a blind eye to its allies' faults is getting irksome. take pakistan for example, there is a country that has nukes, has...
