Do they really have them? I suspect that they may just like for their
neighbours to think they have them. Iraq went through the same thing
in a confrontation with the US and the UN arms inspectors. Bush was
making claims about Saddam's vast arsenal of WMDs that posed a threat to
the US and its interests. Saddam had been at war with Iran and had
other enemies in the region. The threat of his imaginary WMDs may have
helped to keep them as bay. As fast as the US led invasion went, it
could have been a lot fast had they not had the worry of WMD attacks.
