Alright, first off, you still haven't proven that it was a lie on Bush's part. Regardless, we are off onto another point of contention. We would have been going into Iraq with or without the piece of intelligence about uranium in Africa. Do you honestly believe THAT is what finalized the decision and led us into Iraq? Do you think without it, Bush would have ignored the Iraq situation because the US voters were steadfastly against it (they weren't by the way)? Of course you don't because you think Bush and his advisors were just itching to take on Iraq.
It's terrible that 486 people lost their lives in Iraq but their deaths helped to give millions a chance at a better future. Their sacrifices may help to stabilize the Middle East. Now, I'm sure you will claim that it has done nothing but destabilize the region and create a thousand other Bin Laden's but only the future will determine who is right.
