This spiel will get you nowhere. History will record - depending on whether it is Christian or Muslim that the War was the instigation of G.Bush. He refered to the axis of evil years ahead of actually implementing his War plans. The UN opposed the War initially, but cohersed by the coalition of the willing UK,Aus, and a host of hanger-on's (incidently badgered, bribed, threatened) there was little hope for Iraq or Saddam. The unrelenting quest for Oil was the cause calibre for the conquest of Iraq. Even while Saddam was in power, the US was trading under the banner of 'Oil for Food" which has finally nailed Koffi Annan, his son and clique for profitting in the zillions for this humanitarian aid. Hypocrisy.
Figures released 250,000 barrels a day was being shipped to the US to appease the gas guzzlers. In the Navahjo Desert, underground storage vaults were brimming full with Oil which President Bush labels 'reserves'in what is described as blatent oppotunism. The high cost of Oil today owes it's origins to the US's glutonny for more 'reserves' while the World suffers. The Weapons-of-mass destruction was and is a MYTH - though it didn't convince the guillable who now beleive the justification for War was to stop Saddam oppressing his people, the Kurds, the Sunni's. Lord Chamberlain's appeasment before the blitz of Poland is often used as comparisons for venturing into War - except that there are despots, tyrants, murderers and oppressors who this very minute are committing genocide,race-cleansing,idiology etc the Mugabe's,Sudan's War-lords,North Korea,Myanmar, the list goes on..but we don't see John Howard, Tony Blair or GB touting for invasion. So much for chorusing for War.
I haven't the time to continue. I have to feed my nipper.

It is amazing that people can still attempt to justify the war despite the terrible tragedy that has resulted from failed US foreign policy yet again.
