Couldn't resist adding a poll. Certainly by now everyone has an opinion? No? Really??
It was the whole alledged reason for us going against the conventions of the civilized world, ignoring the will of the United Nations, invading a sovereign country that had not threatened any other nation, telling long standing allies to go fuck themselves if they couldn't act like good cowboys. We, the superior ones, had intimate knowledge of where all these banned weapons were, and we couldn't share that intelligence with anyone else, especially not those professional weapons inspectors who had failed to find anything.
And so where are they? Now we're getting hints that maybe those nasty Iraqis stuck them in their back pockets as they wandered across the border to Syria when we weren't looking.
Or maybe the intelliegence was a totally bogus excuse to just go do whatever we wanted to. Great precedent. It should be fun when other nations follow our lead.
