No, Lawrence, those "justifications" were lies. The Bush administration lied in order to start their war.
According to the Iraq Study Group's report, 80% of Iraqi want the US out of Iraq. 60% of Iraqi applaud attacks on US troops.

I suppose you don't know how foolish you sound saying such things. No of course you don't, and you are probably abetted by left-wingers who agree with you, people who don't need evidence to believe their prejudices. How someone could live through the various steps that led up to the resumption, not even the beginning, of the war against Saddam's army, is amazing. You forgot that Saddam wasn't complying with UN resolutions. You forgot that he was shooting at our planes almost daily. You forgot that he violated his truce. You forgot that there was justification for a UN approved war except that France and the Russians promised Saddam they would prevent UN authorization. You forgot that France and Russia were in bed with Saddam as part of the oil for food UN program (which is now called a UN scandal). You forgot that everyone at the time, even Saddam's generals believed Saddam had WMDs. You forgot that Saddam coyly pretended to have WMDs. So to pretend that the war against Saddam, the war that the majority of Iraqi's applauded was an atrocity is an atrocious violation of common sense - in my humble opinion.

So you really think Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush will stand trial for war crimes? yrs, andreas www.andreas.com
