US President George Bush invaded Iraq to trace weapons of mass destructions (WMD) developed by Saddam Hussain. Till date, the US army has failed to trace any WMDs in Iraq. Yet, poor Saddam Hussain lost his life.

The sub-prime WMD crisis, was of the US’ own making and its own self destructive greed.
