They did work on after the Security Council's Sanctions and that they DID conceal information from UN inspector's. So Iraq did have. Also they did chemical attacks on its *own* people. But yet so many people still think that it was wrong to remove him from power. Which should of been done all the way back in the 90's.
I know almost all of that. I was and still am in favor of giving that that bastard a long vacation in a cell. And I know the main reason that we assumed that there were WMD's was because he was constantly an ass about letting UN inspectors in. He was constantly delaying them, and if he is delaying them, what is he trying to hide. The lines aren?t hard to draw there. And I know how he gassed his own villages. And even if the WMD threat turns out to be total BS, then we still took a very evil man out of power.

I agree. But if you are pressed under foot will you ever get the chance to try it out?
And you know, peace is fucking awesome. It is so great that every one seems to want it, but only for themselves. People are constantly saying it isn't any of the US's business, that it isn?t any business but the people of Iraq. Well how lovely. You will let their people starve from the sanctions that you put on their country because of their leader, but won't do anything that actually hurts him, because you would have to get off your ass and risk YOUR precious peace. I hate hypocrites. I hate how know matter what good there is in it, so many people are think that fighting is an absolute wrong.
Once we leave, and Iraq governs itself (and this needs to happen pretty damn soon), I think people?s opinions of the whole situation will change, at least in reference to this being a solely aggressive action. The whole issue of our intentions being misleading, and weather or not UMD?s where that reason is one that needs to be addressed, but if people can?t see that good, no, great things are happening right now, it?s because they?ve closed their eyes.
