you would be better off simply taking Bush's statements as the reasons, as THE reasons. There were several - terror links, WMDs, a dictatorshi that fostered the seeds of hate against us and brutalized his own people, etc. ... this (SA airbases) was not one of them.

1)Terror links - no more than most M.E. muslim states and fewer than some.

2) WMD - still lookin' for em'.

3)Brutal dictatorship - about as common as weeds in the second and third worlds. Since when are they a priority?

4)(The UNMENTIONED ONE), SA airbases - now to become Iraq airbases ... the only serious outcome of the war (other that unanticipated civil chaos) and exactly the point I am failing to get across to you!

"Brutal dictatorship - about as common as weeds in the second and third worlds. "

Total BS, like the rest of your answer. Name a single other dictator alive in 2003 that has literally hundreds of THOUSANDS of graves of his people that HE created. I've posted plenty of old links on Saddam's genocide of the kurds and his many other crimes against his own people. It is an insult to most 3rd world governments, even the bad ones, to compare his sadistic and brutal regime with any other. ... on North Korea is even comparable in world today.

But wait there is more: Who was not only a sadistic and brutal dictator who killed thousands And has had programs of WMDs to boot. And has trained Al Quaeda at Salman Pak terrorist training camp. anyone? Only one.

"WMD - still lookin' for em'." a bioweapons mobile lab was found. so was a whole nuclear research COMPLEX -- in the country that has the largest reserves of oil and NO working nuclear power plant ... please grab a clue! it's not chopped liver they found!
