Bush explained the ~real~ reason (regional stability) to the leaders when he was trying to get support (France/Russia didn't care because they were already ignoring the embargos on oil sales and knew that a US-based stability in Iraq would cause them to loose business [$] and thus they drumed up non-support to keep their oil contracts).
Unfortunately most of the world (people in the world) don't think "big" enough to understand what solid, rooted stability in Iraq (mid-east) means. If they did, this "no WMD" news wouldn't be news to begin with, because people would have already extrapolated what an Iraq without Sadam, with a democratic gov't, means to economic stability.
WMD was a part of many reasons to get a democratic stable country in the mid-east. Was it the only reason? No. What it the most important reason? No. But it was the reason that most of the world would easily digest and understand. |
What regional stability? More terrorist ranks signed up to fight the "big satan" fromt he west, iraq is in shambles, Israel is on high alert and possibly the worst thing with respect to stability is the fact that the Mullahs in iran probably have more influence on the majority shiite population in iraq then saddam loyalists do!
OK USA!!!!!:rolleyes: |

Solid rooted stability in Iraq implemented by the US? How very very convenient. |

The Great Wall of China was not built in one day, nor will a stable and democratic Iraq (which will serve as the foundation for such in the region). |

Well no what I was talking about was the fact that he gave money to suicide bombers and funded other such activities...I'm pretty sure they established he had no direct link to al quida (sp, and i don't REALLY believe that) but either way he was providing considerable amounts of $$ for terror-related activities... |
