We are in Iraq because we are upholding the UN committment

The UNSC could have voted to use military action, the US wouldn't even allow a vote.

....and above all, President Bush has declared a War on Terrorism....and any nation that harbors terrorists...

The War on Terrorism is the same as the War on Drugs or the War on Crime or the War on Poverty. It's not a war, it's a slogan.

Iraq was added to the State Department list of States sponsoring terrorism during the Bush Jr. Administration. [Perhaps you recall that the Carter Administration had them on the list and the Reagan Administration took them off the list.] That was convenient.

How about all the other countries that are on the State Department list for sponsoring terrorism and have been for quite some time? Cuba is on the list? We've also accused them of having biological/chemical WMD programs and they are right in the neighborhood.
