CANBERRA ¨C Ten years on, let¡¯s dispel five myths about the Iraq war.
1. It doesn¡¯t matter why we went in, it only matters that we got rid of Saddam Hussein.
Actually it does, greatly. Suppose the government eliminates someone and says he was a mass murderer. Having first killed him, we will search for, find and provide definitive evidence and only then charge him with whatever crime the evidence indicates. If we don¡¯t find any evidence, it¡¯s only because he killed off witnesses. The lack of evidence is sufficient proof of his evil murdering ways.
