The only reason left for the war is now: "Saddam is an evil man".
That's an oppinion. You can't start a war because you don't like somebody.
They lied to the the american people. They said there was a proof for the weapons of mass destruction. They knew it was a lie before.
How can anybody vote for Bush again? 
I could
almost have accepted the war if the basis was that Saddam was a bit of an evil ****er.
But even then, the worlds not exactly short of them, and more than a few are propped up by the US (being the largest country and hence able to do so; the UK can't, so we haven't really done so... that i can think of at least).
The whole war, even from a domestic perspective only, was a betrayal... Of the people, who should rightfully be able to expect an honest government, and of the troops, who shouldn't be made to risk their lives on the back of a lie. It pisses me off, because I feel like theirs millions of voices crying out for a say, and being ignored.
This is going a mite OT, though. Perhaps I can tie in the two
...
I think... it's interesting that the US is perhaps introducing protectionist trade, yet the satellite state of Iraq has one of the most 'open' markets in the world.
