Reasons for going to war, as stated in resolution:

1. Iraq's harboring of Al-Queda terrorists.
2. Iraq's support for International Terrorism.
3. Iraq's "brutal repression" of its citizens.
4. Iraq's failure to repatriate or give information
   on non-Iraqi citizens detained and captured during
   Gulf War I, including an American serviceman.
5. Failing to properly return property wrongfully
   seized during the Kuwait invasion.
6. The attempted assassination of former 
   President Bush in 1993.
7. America's national security interests in 
   restoring peace and stability to the Persian Gulf.
8. WMD

Another huge reason:
Saddam had ignored UN resolution after UN resolution for over a decade and Bush was just doing what the "global community" was too damn afraid to do!

I seem to remember that the only reason that WMD's became the most talked about reason, was because the "powers that be" thought that the WMD's would be the easiest to get the Security Council to agree upon for the resolution, but that ALL of the reasons were equally justifiable.

Am I correct?
