I don't think anyone here is arguing for Hussein or his dictatorship. But, where are these "wmd's & agents"? We were told that Iraq had capability to launch and attack...and if that is the case these weapons could not be very easily hidden or transported without the Military spying airplanes & satellites.
Furthermore, the US did not accept the UN reports and went to this war based on it's own (somehow far superior) intelligence.
Again, Saddam has been a threat for a long time. Innocent people have been persecuted and some have been dying for a long time. Saddam had the same WMD's in the past as he does even now. Clearly the reason to attack was not for the best interest of civilians and to "spread democracy". So far the reasons used to justify the war have been without any outcome.
What other interest does the U.S. (particularly Halliburton/Exxon) have in the region...
