Even if we got into war for exactly the stated purpose, there are many who believe that purpose was bullshit to begin with when we found out there were no WMD's.
We have found nothing, I don't know why that's so hard for some people to understand.
Also, if you're going to use a method like Occam's Razor which is by no means an accurate "science" to measure anything, then its application should at least be followed correctly.
To assume that we went to war for the "stated purposes" must include the assumptions that the objects of the purposes exist. The simplest assumption, in this case, would be that the shrub is looking out for his own best interests, whatever they may be. That assumes only 1 thing: that he has personal interest in it.
So, I'm not really sure why you'd use Occam's Razor when it doesn't fit what you're trying to say.
