Tragic Irony: WMD Edition

There are more reports this morning about the growing facility that insurgents have with chlorine gas as a weapon. Their latest attempt has killed at least 27. Chemical weapons are making a comeback in Iraq thanks to the US-led invasion.

On some level I hoped that I was wrong about the Iraq war because, well, the idea of having a secular democratic Iraq remains so appealing. Looking at the history of invasions, occupations, and colonial administrations though gave me the sense to predict the worst scenarios. It's just tragic that the most morbid predications about this war have been right.
