To Will, read some of the speeches by Bush prior to our use of military force against Iraq. Bush clearly explained that we have concerns that Saddam either had weapons of mass destruction or was planning on developing them. He also gave other reasons for the need to use military force against Iraq.
To Tecoyah - You seem to want to over simplify the issue. Perhaps using your logic 61 million people were killed for one man, Hitler. Yes-this is a reference to Hitler, I guess that is supposed to end the discussion.
To Baraka - Most of the Iraqi people want the same things most Americans want. They are honest, hard working people who want the best for their families. The want rights, they want to participate in their government (look at the numbers who voted in their elections), the want education and an opportunity to share in the wealth of the nation. Many currently live in fear from terrorists as they lived in fear under Saddam. Our fight is not with these people. Our current mission with Iraq regarding Iraq is to stabilize the country so that the Iraqi people can develop a government and assume control of the country. We have other missions under way in addition to that one.
