So many "questions" are painting pictures backwards and forgetting all the "reasons" for the war in the first place. Why is everything being looked at through hindsight as though we knew all that information all along?

I agree with you on this.
People say things like, "Well, what did we go into Iraq for? We never did find any weapons of mass destruction! We invaded this country and look at the terrible things we have caused to happen there now?"
Well, I remember that Saddam Hussein was a horrible mass murdering dictator and he committed horrible atrocities to his own people. As well, he was not being accommodating or agreeable to allowing the United Nations to check the country out for nuclear and mass destruction weaponry.
I feel that in this day and age, we cannot sit back and allow things to go on in other countries that are against humanity (remember Nazi Germany, for one) and allow countries to threaten nuclear warfare. We cannot stick our heads in the sand and think that if we mind our own business, everything will be alright. No, there are countries in the world today that absolutely hate the West and at the first chance will annihilate us and we have to be on our guard and policing the rest of the world, nonstop, if we want to survive. And, if it comes to it, we must do the annihilating first! It's called SURVIVAL.

Because they did know this all along.
Please, you actually think bush thought there were WMD's there? Even the agents who reported on it said there were none.
You should watch the movie "Wag the dog", you might be enlightened a little bit.
I firmly believe that Bush planned the invasion since before he was ever in office. His daddy went over there and didn't have the balls to go into bagdad, so naturally his son, a fellow war monger like his father, had to go all the way.
Not to mention the fact that there has never, during wartime, been a president up for reelection that did not manage to stay in office. Bush, as evident by the tampering and very obvious cheating that went on in florida, demonstrated quite well his "need" to be in office.
Bush, and his father, are the worst things that could have happened to america when we need to show ourselves in a good light to the rest of the world, not promote even more hate towards the US.
If the entire world was against the war, why didn't we take that as a hint instead of telling everyone else to F off, we're doing it anyhow?

I'm not gonna go political no no no,most people who arent asleep pay attention to the facts and grab all the news from different sources,if you (I mean all of us) were paying attention to world politics for the last 30 odd years you should know,this was where it was gonna be and how it was gonna happen,so no hindsight,just solving an old issue that started in the mid seventies example for this happening , gather intelligence on Yasser Arafat and his contributions to the world with terrorism and you'll start to see where this all began

Because we went to war in Iraq under false pretenses, no one is raising hell about the hunt for Ben Ladden, except to say we don't have enough men doing so, because they are bogged down in Iraq!
