I agree that the WMD justification was a bit absurd and relied too much on assumption. I protested the war, but now I think that what we have to do is accept that what was done is done, and work together to make sure that more good than bad comes out of it. If we were to pull out now, a fundamentalist regime would rise, we need to have enough of a presence in the country to make sure that it does become a democratic and peaceful land. To me, this has become more important than debating who was right or wrong.
I think that this should, however, be a factor in elections. People will need to decide whether or not they're willing to re-elect an administration that lied to them in order to accomplish its goals (whatever those may be.)
