my view is that freedom and liberty for Iraqies was never the main rationale for going to war, WMD was (remeber the speeches). My view is that the rationale for going to war was Saddam's non-compliance with resolution 1441, which warned Iraq that "it will face serious consequences" if it continues to violate its obligations as spelled out in the resolution.
Which was related to WMD (see earlier post about Iraq information package to security council)! Not liberty and freedom.
