The only argument that ever carried weight with me was whether Iraq (WMD or not) was an imminent threat to the U.S. It was not, thus the war was unjustified. Even so, it seems that the pro-war folks who were once so zeaolous to stress WMD be held accountable for their claims.

Not so long ago, they were making far stronger and more confident arguments than the "possible" existence of WMD's. Powell, for example, said that the U.S. knew that that Iraq had "tons" of chemical weapons. Rice was using spectres of mushroom clouds to scare Nervous Nelly conservatives.

And for me it was Saddam's support of several different terrorist groups in the Middle East. Not to mention his human Rights abuses. WMD would have been little more than icing on the cake.

And? I'm also the kind of guy that would put a fire in my neighbors house out before it got to my house... whether my neighbor particularly wanted my help or not. I'd rather say "sorry" afterward then let my own house catch fire.

You apparently would rather we were sifting through the ashes of yet another terrorist attack then do something productive, and affective, about it. If such a conclusion is in error, feel free to correct the impression.

Oh poo. We haven't even found the weapons that Iraq admitted to - however the total amount of bio and chem materials that Powell described could have been moved to any point in Iraq by a couple of guys in a van in at most two months (only on trip of six barrels a day), and stored in a single moderately large fuel tanker sized truck and 10'*12 room.

Attacking Bush on Iraq is passé. Chalk it up to successful preemption of any potential action by Saddam or a palace coup by people worse then Saddam. Also, switching to the Constitution Party has replaced switching to the Libertarian Party for the perpetually disgruntled. There seems to be a concerted effort by some on the Right to fragment Conservatives across several parties.
