But I can't help it; I'm so damn glad that Hussein is gone, and that Syria, Iran, Libya, and N Korea saw that the US has the resolve to deal with rogue nations, that I just can't get too upset that the WMD's haven't played out the way our intelligence thought it would.
As for the last part, I really don't think anyone beside the countries with us right now would have signed up for this effort unless they were forced to through a completely undeniable moral imperative.

You know the US is easily defined as a rogue nation. Huge stockpiles of conventional and WMD, record of using WMD, attacking sovereign nations without provacation, record of and continuning espionage in every country in the world, leaving the Kyoto protocal, not signing the Landmine ban, ect.
If you want to play the name game and call other countries rogue you need to look at the US' track record.
