It's hard for liberals and Democrats not to gloat about the fact that no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has been found in Iraq. But it's also hard for any American not to hope that WMD will be found, since it will greatly enhance American credibility in the world. For example, even Al Franken, in his new book, says that he hopes WMD will be found in Iraq, in order to increase America's standing in the world.
I don't disagree with that, but I also have a very different take on it. Thank God that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Thank goodness that thousands or tens of thousands of American soldiers were not exposed to nerve gas or anthrax or nuclear explosions. I feel bad about this terrible mistake, but what a miracle that Iraq turned out not to have any WMD to use against Americans in the 2003 war on Iraq. There are things a lot more important than being right. This is The Official Record.
