Don't you think that pre-emptive attacks can be based upon lies?

Absolutely. Excellent point. However, why do you believe that that is the case in the instance of Iraq?

[Buckeroo]

Because the president is evading the real issues. He used the reasoning of "WMD" before the UN. He then had Colin Powell do it, as well.

But before all of this, do you remember UN 1441? Iraq complied back in December. At this time (December 2002), I was in Europe and do you know what happened? The Iraqi response was banned from the UN. All of Europe was in an uproar about how the USA deleted major sections of Iraq's response.... this of course lead to the later coalition issues that the USA faced.

There was no coalition, BTW. It was America 250,000 troops followed by Britain 30,000 troops and Australia 5,000 troops. If you call that a coalition, then you don't understand the term.
