I dont see what your point is? At the time, we had EVERY reason to believe that Saddam had weapons. Now we know he didn't, but we already took out their whole currupt ass government, and we can't just leave them hanging, or one of two things will happen, both bad.
Some new dicklip takes Saddam's place or Civil War breaks out.
Isn't that why Hans Blix and the UN inspectors were inside Iraq for that time to check for weapons. And I know that you could not 100% for sure prove that they had them but Iraq could barely shoot scud missles into Isreal let alone strike the US. As for sneaking in nuke well 100's of countrys and groups not countrys can buy them and sneak them inside the USA.
And as for evil leaders, well there are 100 more all around the world, whos next ?

well why did you go ? North Korea and Pakistan pose greater WMD threats to the United States than Iraq for several reasons. Each possesses a much bigger WMD arsenal. Pakistan has several dozen nuclear warheads along with missiles and planes capable of delivering them hundreds of miles away; it is also suspected of having chemical weapons. North Korea is thought to possess sufficient plutonium to produce one to two nuclear devices along with the capacity to manufacture several more; it also has a large chemical weapons stockpile and a formidable array of ballistic missiles.

Do either of them have a record of using them? Or trying to take over other peoples land? I know its an exaggeration, but Charles Manson is more of a threat with a butter knife than Mother Theresa is with a nuke.
Well yes, North Korea invaded South Korea and has been holding the US and other Asian nations semi-hostage now and BEFORE the Iraqi war for food and money support as demands for not making nukes, or more nukes if they do indeed have them Pakistan and India are probably the 2 nations besides any in the middleeast that are most likely to goto war with each other that are nuclear capable. Scary there.
Man, you are brainwashed... Hindsight is 20/20 man, given the evidence we had at the time, even the liberal leaders now critisizing us thought it was prudent for us to take out Saddam.
So now with this move any nation can without any REAL proof invade and force their will on others IE China on Taiwain and claim well hindsight is 20/20 but now that we are there its our way or no way.
It isn't even the Iraqis who are resisting us, or being intollerant. It is Al Queda, Hamas, and other imports who don't want to see a successfull democratic Iraq. They know it threatens thier power, and gives a taste of freedom to the whole region.
And your going to give it to them all regardless, and in the meantime kill 1000's of them And just to ask you, don't you think the US Admin would have forseen this happening ? We are going to try to install a democractic goverment in the miiddleast and its going to go all peachy. Forsight is 20/20 ?
I sir watch the BBC , CNN , ABC , CBC and more. And yes I admit unlike most that I do swing to the left and take what I want from the news. But so do you, and no one is right or wrong in this forum ... but all you need to do is think this is like another modern crusade. Forcing Xian vaules and beleifs which is what Canada and the US were and are mostly founded on to a people mostly Muslim with different vaules who might not want your world of McDonalds and Corporations and dictated mostlyby the US economic machine. Maybe they don't want starbucks.
