Its very simple why the UK and the U.S. attacked Iraq. The mere threat that saddam could produce WMD's and sell them to willing terrorists is enough to go in. Saddam has used them, saddam for whatever reason bluffed that he had them, and at the same time tried to tell the U.N. that he didn't have them and impeeded their progress in proving he didn't have them. The fact that he openly supported anti-Israel terrorist organizations who we all know actively support other terrorist organizations is a resonable enough threat to act on. Chemical and biolodgical weapons are very quick and easy to produce with the know how...and we all know saddams been down that road so all he needed was the "production" components of the program, which there is enough evidence to support that he very likely had in addition to a basic delivery system in place and in small enough numbers to hide from all eyes short of an invasion.
The WMD arguement has been worked up to a froth by those who refuse to accept the inevitable and take action. If terrorists can commondeer 4 airliners and crash them into buildings while they are full of screaming civilians they certainly will have no qualms about aquiring WMD's and using them.
The U.S. govt. did not lie, they acted on information that a multitude of other nations had gathered. The U.S. administration along with the UK administration were the only ones with the "balls" to acctually do something about it. The fact that we have yet to find the "smoking gun" is irelavant, and those who choose to focus on that arguement are not looking at the big picture.
