Now, assuredly Saddam was an evil despot. But there has only been speculation as to how many people he has had killed - there were many claims of hundreds of thousands of dead in mass graves, and those claims turned out to be unsubstantiated. The last I heard, they've found a few thousand dead in mass graves. A far cry from the 400,000 that many (including Bush) have claimed.

one assassination attempt

I can only imagine how many failed and successful assassination attempts have been made on behalf of the U.S. in the past 50 years. Assuredly a lone assassination attempt is not justification of any sort for an invasion.

Flaunted by all parties on both sides.

It would certainly be a nice connection to put Saddam and Iraq involved in 9/11 - but you know it just doesn't exist.
