This is the one thing that gets me when people bitch that the US went to war “for the wrong reasons”. My question is, do we blame a cop for shooting someone waving a gun and threatening people, when that gun turns out to be plastic? Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.

Why would this be any different? Saddam wanted people to think he had WMD - are we supposed to know better than his own people?
