WMD's were no big deal in my opinion, we all have them. So some countries are somehow allowed to have them, someone decides some are not.
Same as guns, some places decide you can have a gun, some places says you can't, while the people in charge get to have them.
Been that way long as I remember all over the world here included. It's not right, just the way it is.
The thing that gets me is using it a political tool, and the left and the right both did that, and Bush was not the first either, Clinton blew the heck out of everything standing and told us it was all about WMD's as well. Left and the right was good with that, I had a slight problem with that, but what do I know.
You need a darn good reason to put a soldiers boots on the ground anywhere, if you want to actually win a real war and feel you have the right to go into another country, you pound it from the air until nothing is left, you put the soldiers boots on the chared ground to sift through the rubble, no "police action", you have INVADED another country to WIN a war. You take everything you want as well, winners take all. If you are not willing to do that, you put soldiers lives at risk for no good reason, and they stay there and get picked off a little at a time, over a long time. The masses get used to this. I can't get used to it at all. Bothers me every day.
You won't change Iraq, you'll wind up keeping thousands of U.S solders there for many years getting picked off, in an atempt to do what? Make them like US? What is that all about? We have no right to change anything, you go to war to devistate and take another country, not try to change them into something impossible. Next thing ya know we'll be teaching them to buy and sell votes with tax payers money...OH...gee we all ready taught them that one I guess.
Same with the Afgan mountains, what in the world are we doing there? Next will be Africa...oh, sorry, we are already there too, they just don't report it.
Who cares about who has WMD's anyway. We going into Iran next? We need to save our solders for defending the U.S. not a bunch of police actions over many decades in other countries. We have bombs for that if it's really a "war". There are no innocents in a war. If you fight like that you lose the war.
We don't have anyone in charge with enough guts to win a war. They got just enough guts to get your sons and daughters killed for their politics. They don't even care enough to keep track of that.
Ya, Iraq had some stuff, so what, if they didn't have anything at all, so what. We were there already under two previous presidents and congresses. It's just some political parties decided to switch their views in their own best interests.
