Hindsight is always 20/20.

The fact is we now KNOW for sure that SH is no longer a threat to the US and that he can not give WMD to terrorists....war would not have been necessary if SH simply opened up and provided the information sought.....you simply can not blame our leaders for SH's duplicity.....

In hindsight the case for war should have been made differently. But the case never really rested on WMD; it rested on the nature of the Saddam regime and the coming collapse of sanctions. Do you think the Mideast would be better off with Saddam free of sanctions, triumphant, funding terrorists all over the place and being bowed down to in fear by the Arab League? I don't. Realistically speaking, that was the choice that we had to make.
