This is analogous to the US government's 2001-2004 claim that the Iraqi government possessed "weapons of mass destruction" ("WMDs"). After invading Iraq and failing to find wmds, the US government claimed that these weapons had been destroyed, or that they were cleverly hidden. The continuing failure to find wmds was then presented as being "consistent" with the "prediction" that these weapons would not be found for the above-stated reasons. Yet, these predictions were based on ad hoc hypotheses developed after the embarrassing failure to find wmds.

It's all the more ironic, it seems, since Bush's promised wmds never showed up in Iraq in the first place -- so the U.S. military decided to bring its own and use them against the very nation it attacked on the premise that Iraq might someday develop wmds and use them on other nations. To end these cruelties, we must move past the caveman mentality that tells us to take revenge on the caveman who beat us up and stole our berries. Unfortunately, that's the mindset we are operating with today, which brings into question whether we are correct in calling modern civilization advanced at all.

The bunkers represented hundreds of thousands of square feet of secure, underground storage space, immune to satellite photography or other advanced spying technology, where any amount of wmds might have been stashed—fissionable material, nuclear devices, stocks of anthrax, smallpox, chemicals. The available intelligence about wmds might have been flawed, dubious, or unreliable—but most of all it was inconclusive. The United States needed to know conclusively if anything dangerous existed or had left traces in these places and possibly had been shifted elsewhere, perhaps out of the country.

Yet, these predictions were based on ad hoc hypotheses developed after the embarrassing failure to find wmds. Apparently, US government leaders preferred this course to simply admitting that they had been wrong all along.4 In the original edition of The Gene Illusion, I quoted Nancy Andreasen's statement that schizophrenia is caused by an "'invisible lesion' that cannot be seen with the naked eye or under a microscope."5 I then asked rhetorically whether researchers might someday claim that schizophrenia is caused by "invisible genes." Little did I realize how soon this would come to pass.

Iraq had no wmds, genetic researchers believe that the genes they are looking for actually exist. 5. Andreasen, 2001, p. 209. In 1992, Michael Owen wondered aloud if schizophrenia "will become a graveyard for molecular geneticists?" Because molecular genetic research in schizophrenia was "still in its infancy," he reasoned, "talk of graveyards is premature."1 Owen and other investigators were beginning their work in a "multicentre collaborative programme" of schizophrenia molecular genetic research, supported by European foundations and the American NIMH.

To end these cruelties, we must move past the caveman mentality that tells us to take revenge on the caveman who beat us up and stole our berries. Unfortunately, that's the mindset we are operating with today, which brings into question whether we are correct in calling modern civilization advanced at all. We really haven't advanced that far. We still act on the same basic emotions and stimuli as our ancestors. Cruelty to Animals Moving on, let's discuss the highly controversial subject of animal cruelty.

The available intelligence about wmds might have been flawed, dubious, or unreliable—but most of all it was inconclusive. The United States needed to know conclusively if anything dangerous existed or had left traces in these places and possibly had been shifted elsewhere, perhaps out of the country. Since the UN team was prevented from completing the search, the United States had to do it in person. The fact that nothing was found by American forces after the 2003 invasion does not prove that we didn't have to look. There were other good reasons for getting rid of Saddam Hussein.
