No Surprise

I just wonder how many of those that say we shouldn't have gone to Iraq felt the same in 2002 when the operation began. If you felt the same way in 2002, then you apparently felt that Iraq's WMDs did not pose a threat to the US or that further UN resolutions was the answer (17+). I know that 9/11 was over 5 yrs ago...but the vast majority of the nation felt action had to be taken and that was the climate that existed when Bush made his decision.

Honestly, I can say that it never felt like the right decision to me, never. I say this not as some stereotypical peacenik, but as a person who listened to the information and all the arguments and still felt it was unwarranted. Maybe I was in the minority in my feeling, but I always had the underlying fear/suspicion that W's decision was based more on bravado and swagger than facts.
