From your words, Praxus, i think Bush should have stayed with "operation Crusade for Freedom".

It was "Operation Infinite Justice", then they changed it because Muslims claim that only God can deliver "infinite justice".

It is for them to decide their own government.

They do not have a right to create a Government that is hostile to the west, because what would be the point of fighting the war. So you lose hundereds or thousands of lives (not to mention billions of dollars) only to have a dictator replaced by a new dictatorship or theocracy.

Can you pass on your information to the Whitehouse, David Kaye etc where unable to come to the conclusions you have made. In fact they are now retracting to Colin Powell's position of 2001, that Iraq was contained and his WMD programmes smashed.

They had the capacity to create WMD, and they did support terrorism. These are undisputable facts.
Even if they did not have the technology presently available to them, they had the know how to create them.
If you want legal justification, they broke the terms of surrendur, therefor nullifying any peace and restoring us to a state of war.

Civilized nations don't firebomb cities for no reason, however any civilian deaths that are incurred are the direct result of initiator of force (as I have said many times).
