The Iraq war ABSOLUTELY was in our interests to fight and win. Saddam WAS developing WMDs, he WAS defying UN resolutions, he WAS aiding and training terrorists, he WAS a tyrant who we had to keep in a box with sanctions and no-fly zones.
We were in a state of semi-war already from 1991 to 2003. We had a choiceto let the sanctions policy and the corrupt oil-for-palaces program continue, or walk away and let Saddam go free to build his WMDs and power back up. Or to finish what we should have done in 1991.
It absolutely was the right thing to do to Liberate the Iraqi people from Saddam's reign of terror.
