I think I'm one of the whiney ones
I do think Saddam was a bad bad bad man, really I do. I think the Iraqi people are much better off with him gone (especially once the infrastucture is operating well).
But I (still) think there wouldn't have been
any support for an invasion of Iraq without WMD rhetoric (either internal or external to USA). So the semi-illegitimate invasion gets less and less legitimate by the day. "The ends justify the means" is an appalling argument.
And if I was American, I would be
really pissed off about being mislead. Surely a better standard is required from your leaders?
