Well Young Scholar how long do you think it would have taken to put the WMD pieces together?

That's hard to say, and given what we believed at the time, there certainly were good reasons to invade.

As for building democracy, it has become a useful goal when we've been involved in countries for other reasons (for instance, Germany or Japan), but on its own I doubt many would consider it a good reason for significant military operations in a country. Since we're in Iraq already, we should ceratinly make every effort to promote a stable government, but the goal of a stable government wouldn't have alone provided a sufficient reason to enter the country in the first place.

That's an opinion. Not the only one but an opinion.
