First off you might try reading the Act by Congress that lists over a dozen reasons as to why Saddam Hussein was a threat to this nation and gave the Commander-in-Chief Congressional approval for military force in Iraq. You may also want to try reading the order by the Clinton administration that designated Iraq as a terrorist sponsoring nation and a threat to this nation.
Saddam Hussein did have WMD, he used WMD , was still seeking WMD and in reality you are wrong it was also found in Iraq and some also made its way into Jordan whereas terrorists intended to try and use it.
You are also wrong about there being no Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq before 9/11. There are multiple accounts and evidence which prove otherwise. Saddam even made a worldwide invitation to Osama Bin Laden to stay in Iraq in the late 90s as reported by CNN and other sources.
Saddam Hussein was an openly sworn enemy of the United States. Saddam Hussein supported, financed, and trained terrorists in Iraq. Terrorist training camps even sported large murals of Saddam celebrating 9/11. Saddam Hussein attacked American interests every chance he could find and attempted to assassinate a United States President. Saddam Hussein committed the largest act of environmental terrorism in the history of the world, dumping thousands of barrels of oil into the ocean and burning dozens of oil fields. Saddam Hussein was the ONLY WORLD LEADER TO OPENLY PRAISE THE ATTACKS OF 9/11.
Those who defend Saddam are the likes of Ron Paul, CodePink, the leftist Ramsey Clarke, the democrat party once it became to their political advantage and now of course you.
Ron Paul is a pervert (look up the word) being that he perverts the values of our Founders, perverts the meaning of the Constitution, and thinks that we must treat homosexuality equal to heterosexuality in our military, the Founders would be appalled by his perversions.
