I believe we invaded Iraq on the (what turned out to be a mistake) belief they had WMD's and were gonna use 'em. At least that's what the Shrub told us and the rest of the world. There was little to no Al Quada present in Iraq 'cause they didn't trust Sadam either.
As ruthless and nasty as he was, one thing Sadam did was keep the lid on a very volitale mixture of factions .......... we haven't done that. What we did was remove the lid and wait for the crowds of people cheering us, their liberators. Something else Dick Cheney was wrong about.

It can be argued that it is always right to stand up to evil.
Was it right to defeat Hitler? Napoleon? What costs were involved there?
Saddam Hussein was in fact a supporter of terrorism as well as being a heinous and ruthless dictator. He was in direct violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441

The following is from a speech given by George Bush on 9/20/01.
"Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes visible on TV and covert operations secret even in success.We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place until there is no refuge or no rest.
And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.
From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."
Get over it. The Iraq war was just as justifiable as any other so called righteous war that has ever been waged.
