Free to do bad things

The kind of stuff that makes you shake your head in disbelief… and we’ve got a full LOAD of this in the past several months, haven’t we?
“Free to do bad things” by Brian Whitaker, Guardian Unlimited
In a move that further undermines the United Nations’ role in Iraq, the US has secretly and unilaterally resumed weapons inspections… The US has a pressing need to find evidence of chemical or biological weapons in Iraq, since this was the pretext for the invasion in the first place. But the American-controlled inspection team has no international recognition and will also have to struggle to establish its credibility. .
Why on earth would they still bother trying to prove the existence of non-existent weapons of mass destruction? They’ve already convinced the American people that this Iraq war is revenge for Sept. 11. They don’t need any evidence of anything. In any case, it’s pretty easy to plant evidence when no one else is watching anyway, right?
Should the US worry about the reaction of the international community? Nah… It should just sit back and enjoy the show. That’s all that it is good for anyway, isn’t it?
