The current search for weapons of mass destruction in occupied Iraq will prove that the reason for the war was nothing but a lie perpetrated by the Bush regime. The relative quickness of the war itself also proves the non-existence of any nuclear or chemical weapons since none were ever deployed. Now the blame is drifting toward Syria, and the dreams of a new imperialism promoted by the Project for a New American Century is still going strong. The only hope is the slowly rising tide of dissent that sees through this illusion. The six months occupation of Iraq by a military government will only fuel that dissent.
