Iraq had no army, navy, air force or missile systems capable of threatening Europe, much less North America.
The claim that Iraq was a (military) threat to the US was a lie from the very beginning. With or without WMD's, Iraq posed no threat to the US.

Iraq was a safe harbor for terrorists. Saddam practiced genocide against other Iraqis. The regime needed removal! Before you condem anyone's involvememt there talk to the men and women in uniform who have served there and actually seen what is going on. I have! They are united in the belief that US presence is both beneficial and required!

Did you forget that Al Zarkawi was part of the al queda network and he and his minions were in Iraq before we invaded? They were definitely part of 9/11 and they fled Afghanistan and were welcomed by Saddams sons in Iraq. We could have ignored this and let al queda grow stronger in Iraq, let Saddam continue to sell oil to his friends for a lot more then food, and eventually we'd have suffered another al queda attack for doing so.

Yes. Saddam funded and harbored terrorists. Bush is keeping his word.

well, honestly no. it looked more like GW's ego in action there. you could say that they had a bad regime, harboured terrorists, and so on, but they arent the only middle eastern country accused of it, so why was iraq always singled out?
basically i just dont support war:-)...too many nice soldiers to loose.

Wow five answers so far, and three are actually backing the true efforts in Iraq. Very wise answers. Nice to see the truth for once.

never a threat in the first place but in the future yes, when the kids grow up they will remember what had happen to their family and friends, i think they will take revenge of some kind if they still live to that day
