The people didn't directly vote on this, it was the Senate and House in a Joint Resolution. We didn't have to fight Hitler, he would have burnt himself out on Russia. We could have just let the Japanese take what they wanted in Asia. No skin off our nose. North Korea? hey they're all Koreans, BFD. Saddam, hell, he only killed his own people (OK maybe a few Kuwaitis). Whatever, Saddam was no Hitler. If we were so afraid of Saddam why did we arm him to the teeth during the 1980s. Saddam was a convient boogeyman for the Military Industrial Complex to justifiy their existence and to use as a pretext to permanentaly station our troops close to the ME oil supplies. If WMDs were really the issue, we'd attack North Korea before Iraq. N. Korea has them and is willing to sell weapons. Also, all the WMDs from the former Soviet Union are certainly a menace that needs to be dealt with. This war against Iraq was always about oil. How can anyone deny that any longer? I mean the first thing we did was secure the oil fields and secure the Oil Ministry when we entered Baghdad. If it wasn't about oil, why didn't we secure other government buildings as well? Fool me once, fool me twice, but fool me three times? Come on, this war was based upon lies from the beginning. It's all about control of the world's most valuable resource, black gold.
