OK, I’ll admit that things are a bit more complicated than the simplistic scenario that I laid out but the fact remains that despite a very concerted effort by our military to find WMD in Iraq after we invaded yielded no significant finds kind of puts the lie to the reasoning for our invasion and does suggest the the UN was right (hey a stopped clock is right twice a day). I really don’t put much stock in the truthfulness of any governmental organization (and that includes the US) so all of them are suspect in my eyes.

In reality the best guess for the war is to follow the money in most cases but having insufficient information on who really profited from this I can’t really say what all the reasons were. All I can say is that the assertion that Saddam was involved in the 911 attacks and Al Quada is totally off base and people trying to tie him to that in some vain attempt to justify our invasion is false and needs to be brought to light.

As far as the Rwandans my point was that we don’t always rush to the points of conflicts because of these types of things but only when it is in our “interests” so all those waving around the fact that Saddam was a bad man and killed his people are way off base. The US uses it as a propaganda item and nothing more.
