I'm not a Saddam apologist, but I still don't understand "why now?". The three reasons that people offer for us going into Iraq were:
1. Iraq has WMD, and will use them sooner rather than later.
2. Saddam is a horrible despot, and we have to save the Iraqi people.
3. Iraq supports terrorists.
Reason 1 seems to be wrong, either due to bad intelligence, or wishful thinking. People make mistakes, but lets ackowledge them. As for 2, this clearly is the case. But it is also the case in plenty of other countries around the world. Same with #3. So again, why Iraq, and why now?
