I have to admit I will be much happier when we find evidince of WOMD. If against all odds they don't (and I just don't see that happening), I have to reluctantly admit I would prefer for them to manufacture proof rather than front the world and say "Whoops, looks like we were wrong".

I respect honesty above all else. If the coalition governments wishes to play others for fools than fine. But I would have no respect for a government that falsified evidence like that. If they find no evidence than the leader of a genuine government would admit that the action was wrong, apologize, continue to help with reconstruction, and possibly the leader should step down. I wouldn't mind them deflecting the issue with a propaganda campaign of how good it will be with the dictator out of the picture however. However no falsified lies and claims. This is an insult on other countries saying they are too stupid to know the difference and a slap in the face.
