I wouldn't say tricked i'd say they were lied to and misslead. America was being pushed via a dangerous level of patriotism to not question anything Bush said and we paid for it.

Sure Saddam was bad, no one is saying he wasn't. I'm just not sure if Iraq or the world is better off now. And while were taking out bad people I think we should look at Saudi Arabia, Darfur, Burma, and many other nations. Why aren't you pushing to invade those countries?

again i'll quote the horses mouth and not Bush's back pedaling:
Quote:
We know that Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network share a common enemy -- the United States of America. We know that Iraq and al Qaeda have had high-level contacts that go back a decade. Some al Qaeda leaders who fled Afghanistan went to Iraq. These include one very senior al Qaeda leader who received medical treatment in Baghdad this year, and who has been associated with planning for chemical and biological attacks. We've learned that Iraq has trained al Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases. And we know that after September the 11th, Saddam Hussein's regime gleefully celebrated the terrorist attacks on America.
