Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Concern about WMD attacks

CNN:

The chance of an attack with a weapon of mass destruction somewhere in the world in the next 10 years runs as high as 70 percent, arms experts have predicted in a U.S. survey.

Most of the more than 80 experts surveyed in the report released on Tuesday believed one or two new countries will acquire nuclear weapons in the next five years, with two to five countries joining the nuclear club during the next decade.

In an introduction to the report he commissioned, Lugar said the success of that program proves the spread of WMD can be stopped by building "extraordinary international relationships."

He said establishing a "worldwide system of accountability" for WMD could prevent terrorists from acquiring such weapons.

"Even if we succeed spectacularly at building democracy around the world, bringing stability to failed states and spreading economic opportunity broadly, we will not be secure from the actions of small, disaffected groups that acquire weapons of mass destruction," Lugar said.

"Everything is at risk if we fail in this one area."

Lugars problem is that too many Democrats do not care about accountability. Iraq was liberated because Saddam could not account for his WMD. The fact that Iraq's WMD is still unaccounted for leads Democrats to accuse those who supported the war of lying. The assumption of bad faith itself is actually made in bad faith, since those who opposed the war also believed that Saddam had not accounted for his WMD. They just did not want to go to war over the lack of accountability.
