Speaking of Old Europe, you should also read this piece from the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page. It’s written by the former head of Iraq’s nuclear program and he describes not only how inspections is a truly fruitless process but he also details how France and Germany sold Iraq much of its WMD technology. Many are starting to speculate that the two countries are so anxious to keep the U.S. from invading Iraq because the governments would be extremely embarrassed by what skeletons will turn up in Saddam’s closet. It would reflect rather poorly on Chirac and Schroeder if it were discovered their respective nations knowingly sold Iraq illegal weaponry and technology that circumvented UN sanctions.
