The definitive debunking of the arguments used by Bush and his advisers for a war on Iraq — by a UN former weapons Inspector who knows from the inside what the risks really are — both of not going to war and going to war.

— there is no link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda
— Iraq’s chemical, biological and nuclear capabilities were destroyed in the years after the Gulf War
— satellite monitoring and spying on Iraq would have detected new centres for producing weapons
— sanctions prevented Iraq getting the ingredients needed to make weapons
— forced "regime change" won’t lead to democracy
— the consequences of a war would be truly dangerous for the Middle East and could unleash a nuclear war
