I have considered that particular argument, but I don't see that you have presented any evidence to the contrary that almost everyone, left and right, believed that he had WMD's. That you haven't seen a particular punishment does not logically derive only from false information (there are many explainations possible, including that perhaps such punishments have indeed been metted out. Don't I recall several shakeups in the intelligence community recently?)
And yes, Moore makes movies and one leads the free world, but also, the arguments for taking out Hussein likewise show a factor of greater importance as to those of promoting a particular agenda in a movie; specifically that he was
still a butchering psychopath, with a known history of making war on his neighbors and pursuing chemical and nuclear weapons.
I mean, it isn't like we went to war on the Dali Lama.
And THAT is the main reason that I still ultimately support the war inspite of the WMD fiasco, or to quote,
