Maybe it's because the USA is an easy target.

Not really. Iraq was an easy target. A rich one, too.

All losers hate winners, I guess

No hate. And no loss for the majority of people who opposed this war. Just the fact that it was not a just war - as in, one where you are attacked or at least menaced.

how do you know there are no WMD's

It is not up to me to prove they don't exist. It is up to the warmongerers, the Bush administration in particular, to prove those tons and tons and tons they were talking about were not imaginary reasons to invade a country who never a menace to them.

Before the war, you all were crying to give the inspectors more time

Yes. Because were were not convinced they existed. And we were convinced that war is the worst possible solution to any problem.

Now you expect untrained US troops to find them immediately when they have probably been well hidden.

"Well hidden", hm. Then I guess you would say that the US lifting sanctions at this time is a very bad idea indeed, since they can now be taken out of the country with relative ease.

A little hypocritical, I think.

Just because you don't understand the above.

By the way, "hypocritical" is invading a country on the basis of some unproven WMDs and then saying they don't matter. Or saying countries where there is systematic torture should be invaded to free their people and then being buddies with the likes of Turkey. Or saying this is not for the oil but protecting only the oil ministry and not the museums. Take your pick.
