This greatly interested me! I had never thought of it in this way. Of course, I can't speak for those people, but I suspect it might come down to FEAR OF WMD.
With ID, Evolution, etc. no-one tends to die if one side makes a mistake. But here, people actually believed that The West might have suffered an attack from Saddam and so tried to pre-empt it and prevent any attack. Believing in principles when it comes to fossils doesn't compare because a lack of strong proof still might have resulted in people dying from WMD. Do you see?
