Forget the WMDs ok. The part about removing Saddam is fine. He would have been a problem with the oil $$ about to pour into that neck of the woods.
This is about bringing 11% of the world's proven reserves online. Period. Saddam was in the way and an enemy of America.

And he treated his people like crap and and on and on. Put him in the middle of Africa and we couldn't care less if he exterminated an entire tribe. But he was in too strategic a place in the world to not be acting on his best behavior. He screwed up and didn't play ball. Stupid is as stupid does.
