US gives up search for Iraq WMD

BBC NEWS | Americas | US gives up search for Iraq WMD

So, um, why is it that you gun-freaks invaded a 3rd-world nation?

• Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction
  
• Saddam Hussein evicted UN weapons inspectors
  
• To remove a regime
  
• Saddam Hussein is 'Evil'
  
• It would improve relations with the Middle East
  
• Setting an Example for Other Nations
  
• Saddam Hussein hates the US so America needs to stop him before he does harm.
  
• To liberate Iraqis and make them free like Americans
  
• Iraq had not complied with UN resolutions
  
• Revenge for the earlier Attempt on JHWB's life.
  
• Iraq posed a threat to the region and should be 'handled'
  
• Because the Iraqi military is weaker than Iran or N Korea
  
• Unfinished Business from the first invasion
  
• War for Oil
  
• America had a Historical Obligation
  
• Disarm the warlike Iraqis
  
• Safety of the World
  
• Protect the Children of the US from Iraq
  
• Imminent Threat
  
• Preserve Peace
  
• Threat to Freedom
  
• Link to Al Qaeda
  
• Iraq Unique
  
• Relevance of the UN
  
• International Law
  
• Stimulate the Economy
  

Go read the paper. Then tell me how 'stimulation of the economy' or 'because it will be easy' is a reasonable justification for killing 100,000 Iraqis or - what may concern you more - 1000 American soldiers.
