"Was the war based on Weapons of Mass Destruction"

No. This was part (a large part) of the justification. He was a danger in the post 9-11 world. He was in violation of numerous U.N. resolutions. Ridding his country of WMD's being one of the biggest. If he did not have any (which is no where near proven, yet you state as fact), all he had to do was come clean and state how he got rid of them. He chose not to. We responded.

Sorry if that hurts your feelings. You must think he is trustworthy, and that it is ok to violate resolutions that were tied to his surrender. In a post 9-11 world this was not acceptable when the amount of damage he could have done (or aided) was considered. It also was a justified opportunity to give a democratic system a chance in the arab world. Something the anti-U.S. postion people think they are not capable of or do not deserve. Why else would they make stupid statements of fact that they could have NO WAY OF KNOWING.
