Just a note, Spanky: No one actually thinks that mere possession of WMD is a causus belli, or however you spell it. And you are one of the very few people I know who believes that it is OK to invade foreign countries simply to bring them free markets.

Here is a WaPo piece (by David Ignatius -- hardly a lefty) about Bolton's efforts to sound the alarm about Cuba's non-existent WMD. Just so it's clear that I what I was referring to.
