Whoa! What Was I Thinking?

Saddam’s minions escorted his lackeys on a tour of a laboratory that was not a biological weapons center. Expecting to spot a big vial helpfully labeled (in English) “Really Awful Biological Weapon to Kill Children and Kittens,” the guests surprisingly found nothing suspicious.

The tour bus then went on to a Safeway supermarket that was not a chemical weapons bunker, a Blockbuster video store that did not house cyclotrons used to make weapons-grade nuclear materials, a grain silo that did not house a Scud missile, and a goat herd that was not subject to Saddam’s own “intrusive inspection.”

Now I’m reassured.
