Personally, I'll wait and see for the final outcome, because, unlike you, I don't have any concrete evidence one way or another.
That said, the US went in because of Iraq's violations of the cease fire treaty, and violations of 17 UN resolutions. Violations that Saddam Hussein could have easily corrected any time over a period of 12 years. Of course Saddam chose not to. He would rather let his people suffer in poverty and endure an embargo rather than live up to a treaty that he agreed to.

Didn't the final weapons report come out already ? Have you not heard the news ? Or was that something else ? Hmm, guess Tony Blaire was apoligizing for something else.
Military and government issues are usually way over our heads(the general public). America would not go into Iraq for no reason. It's always political or economical. Why is the oil building or whatever the only building being guarded by US troops over there ?
12 years ? I guess it took another two presidents for action to be taken. Weird, first is Bio weaponry, then links with "Al Qaeda". And right after the "Bin Laden" mess. This doesn't seem very coincindental to me.
But hey, think what you like.
