I dunno about that, there were weapons inspector after weapons inspector saying there were NO weapons of mass destruction. Over and over and over NO weapons of mass destruction. Even right up to the war everyone but the US was saying there were NO weapons of mass destruction. The best we could come up with when Colin Powell went before the UN were some satelite photos of some trucks.. sitting in front of a few buildings or a few bunkers. In those trucks, buildings and bunkers could have been ANYTHING, yet magically we "knew" it was stuffed full of weapons of mass destruction. So we kill our way in there and find nothing and what do we hear? "err... the Russians took em! Yea, thats the ticket!" or the ever-popular "uhh... they must have.. took them into... syria... we should hit them next!"
There's every reason to whine about woulda coulda shoulda. This is why we have prisons and laws. So someone kills your mother on the street in cold blood... well.. woulda coulda shoulda. Someone orders the invasion of a country on fabricated "facts" and blatant lies, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people... well.. woulda coulda shoulda... the ones that survive will be better off, trust us!
Thats wrong. But you're slightly right.. the whining should change.. to action.
