Yes, that fits into the knowledge category quite nicely. There are likely many other things that do; I make no claims my list was anything other than a few key points.

It was not simply a "give them more time" issue. Had Hussein allowed the inspections to continue apace from when they started in teh mid-1990s (or however long ago it was), rather than continually shucking jiving/dodging and weaving, it would not have come to the point it did, with the US saying "this is bullshit, he's had his chance(s)."

This part doesn't fit into the knowledge category, but instead into the opinion and analysis category. I'm not disagreeing, just pointing out where knowledge ends and opinion and belief begin, and noting that the analysis and opinion of the average voter in Spain, for example, is likely very different from the opinion and analysis of the average voter in Utah.
