WMD's were one of numerous reasons the U.N. had to attack Saddam's Regime under the Peace Treaty following the Iraq War.

Give me one reason. Oh and blaming the UN for the US's action is complete b.s.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
