If you were a supporter of this war at the time the administration was pushing for the "unilateral" invasion, would you still support such an action, given what we now know regarding WMDs, the build-up of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Waziristan, the "insurgency" driven by foreigners...?

Would I support the US going in and deposing Saddam?
Or would I support the US staying in Iraq for four years AFTER deposing Saddam? Two completely unrelated issues.
Personally, I don't think the US had the legal authority to depose Saddam. But, legal authority isn't the final answer when it comes to political interactions between nations. I abstain on that issue.
I don't think the US should have committed to an unlimited open-ended occupation of another country. That's not our job.

If I could go beyond the democrats scope of rational thought, I would also wonder if Clinton knew what he knew today would he have acted more responsibly when offered bin laden years ago,because if so I believe Bush would of had no 9/11 to create such support for Iraq invasion. But democrats fail to see that link.

No, didn't support it then and i don't know. I know one Presidential Candidate who would though.
He said, when asked "knowing everything we know now, would you do the same thing (that Bush did)" and Rudy Guliani said "yes I would, i would make all the same decisions" Wow! he said that during the last Presidential debate, I almost hit the floor. Its one thing to not know and make a mistake, but to know and do it any way..that is just crazy..
But any way, Afghanistan was our real chance we should have reinforced that country, Saddam was a dividing faction and kept the Radical islamic states, like Iran at a manageable level by keeping a balance (Saddam's Iraq was secular state-more secular than the current government in Iraq)

What I do NOT support is people/regimes like Saddam hussein and his henchmen. I believe the modern world is better off rid of these sub-humans and, yes, I would still have voted to go into Iraq but I would have gone in with a much bolder message, in the shape of some major bombs!!!!!!!! That's the only language those savages understand!

I never supported this war. I fear many of the ardent Bush bots are still bleating out the lines " Saddam was evil, and its better to fight them there than here " . A closed mind is a closed mind, but at a very high price.

Why not?
When Iraq is part of us.
After getting kick on the butts.
With human lives of the little ones, own children , own generation and living human kind world -wide is at high risk and high stakes on the survival and advancement of living human kind moving backwards in time with what is over the horizon creeping out from the graveyards of failures and horrors of the past .

anyone with common sense would have been dead-set against it...not that it would have done any good, the cheney/bush administration was going to have their attack on iraq regardless-
