I have to agree with Tenchusatsu.

[No, it wasn't. Saddam wasn't being compliant, the inspections couldn't be conclusive one way or another, and the "oil-for-palaces" program was a smack in the face of U.N. humanitarianism.]

In fact, I agree with all of the above. Saddam had years to account for his weapons and elected to thumb his nose at the UN instead. And the UN (being the dynamic, decisive organization that it is) did nothing.

IRAQ was invaded for not providing full accountability of WMD and associated weapons. Not because someone convinced the world that it was a fact that he had them. Lack of accountability is scary. Any nation or group in the world could have been buying some of them. I doubt that full accountability could ever be established, but I would hope that a lot can be learned from some of the information that can be pieced together.
