the invasion of Iraq was unjustified because Iraq had not taken part in attacks upon US, nor was it in a position to deliver a threat to our vital interests.

Incorrect.
1.Saddam ordered the assassinatIon of a sitting US President.
2. The availability of oil IS a vital US interest as well as an vital interest to the global economy....having a madman like Saddam sitting on the second largest proven oil reserves and adjacent to the largest proven reserves was in fact a threat to US vital interests....
