Remember before the Iraq War? Back when it was thought there were WMD’s just scattered around the Iraqi desert like sprinkles on an Ice Cream dessert?

I believe I remember France criticizing the decision to enforce co-operation from Saddam Hussein over inspection teams and the apparent hiding of WMD. So why is it that now – when the same people are saying Iran is producing WMD – is it OK for France to talk war?

I’m probably in the minority when it comes to the Iraq War. I think that the security forces made a mistake, if there were WMD’s they are probably in another country now, if there weren’t – oh well, they screwed up. If the leaders of the allied forces all saw the information and all made the same decision – albeit in hindsight probably the wrong one – I don’t blame them for that. In their position I can’t say I would have made any better choice. I don’t think it’s about oil (they have lost more than they have gained – for the amount of money spent on the war, they could have just bought the damn oil), I don’t think it was Bush trying to ‘please daddy’ – I just think they messed up…

But anyway… It seems to me as-though Iran is co-operating a hell of a lot more than Saddam Hussein ever did, so why are they an OK target for tough-talk from the French? Because they’ve verbally threatened Israel? Because they didn’t like the movie “300″?

It seems the age of paranoia is back – oh joy.
