Not, of course, that the WMD issue was of primary
importance in the first place.

OK, what was the important thing then? What was that "1441" thing?
It was a number of things. First, he was a brutal tyrant who was murdering
his own people wholesale and was engaging (and condoning) the most heinous
sorts of torture, rape and brutality imaginable. Second, he was facilitating
and harboring terrorists, which threatened world peace and facilitated the
9/11 attacks. Third, he refused to allow inspections as mandated by the
cease-fire agreement. Fourth, he was known to have, and have used WMD's on
his own people and Iran. Fifth, he was attempting to obtain nuclear
materials in violation of the cease-fire agreement. Fifth, he conspired to
attempt to assassinate the President of the United States. Sixth, his
actions destabilized the region and threatened world peace. Seventh, he
provided an excellent object lesson on the perils of thumbing one's nose at
the US for other terrorist nations such as Libya and North Korea...among
others. That's some of the principle reasons we invaded.
After the fact, you Bushies keep saying "it wasn't the WMD! it wasn't
the WMD! it wasn't the WMD!" But before the war, all we heard was: "
it's about the WMD! it's about the WMD! it's about the WMD!"
First, what you heard and what was actually said are clearly very different
things. I imagine you get your news from the CBC, so I wouldn't expect you
to have heard anything even reasonably unbiased.
Second, what makes you think that we are obligated to justify our actions to
you, personally?
Third, all the above justifications were repeated by the administration
many, many times. That the liberal press refused to publish them is not the
administration's fault.
make up your minds.
We did. We decided to invade Iraq and free its people from a brutal tyrant
and we decided to ignore your country's (and everybody else's) opinion that
we didn't have sufficient justification to do so.
Evidently, you prefer the daily raping and torture of innocent young virgins
by brutal sex perverts, among other atrocities.
You're a real sterling fellow. Canada deserves you.
