>> If he was out to stop the proliferation of WMD, why not North Korea? Why not Iran? It wasn't "just" about WMD. It was about stopping terrorism, and NK wasn't useful for that purpose and Iran was out of reach at the time because GWB couldn't get the UN to move on it. GWB was trying to proliferation in Iran his entire time in office until the last 18 months. But England and France were totally roadblocking everything that happened in the UN. We already had plenty of justification for taking out Iraq; they were, after all, in violation of the ceasefire agreement which gave us the right and responsibility -- as early as '94, to go back in and finish the job. Unfortunately, we had a president who didn't want to stir that pot at the time. I think if you open your mind you can come to see that the Iraq War was not only justified but smart. Certainly, history will judge it that way. History, of course, filters out the extreme Left and Right, leaving the picture of what actually transpired. (well, other than the Howard Zinns of the world).
