I would like to add something to Hugo's point. We can't forget this problem has been inherited. Two prior administrations made the same claims. Clinton signed into law the "Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998" which specifically calls for "Regime Change". If this adminstration has lied than at least two other administrations lied. I find this to be illogical. I think that if you are a person with commonsense you know that Iraq posed a threat. Directly or indirectly.
Another point I'd like to make is the members of the UN didn't disagree that Hussein posed a threat. They most certainly didn't disagree when it came to Iraq's reputation on lack of human rights. The question was how to handle him and the situation. We obviously had tried diplomacy on more than one occassion. I'd say numerous occasions since that is what all of the resolutions represent. We were at a crossroad, so to speak.
I think the US had and continues to show tremendous restraint. We've had years of terrorist attacks and I think enough should be enough. Those countries who knowingly help are just as guilty as the perpetrators.
