The British People where certainly told that the war was about WMDs, don't know how it was sold to the American public, but thats how it was sold to us, I actually do not have a problem with removing Saddam Hussein, he was a monster that was past his usefulness, he had been useful in the Cold War so we created him, then we destroyed him. I do however have a problem with the way we went about it, we should have gotten the mandate and Blair should never have lied to the parliament and people of the UK. We violated the Nuremburg Principles by starting this war without a proper mandate, we gave what moral high ground we had and had sent the message (intentionally or not) that invading a country for having a goverment you do not like is acceptable behaviour, it is up to you to decide if those consequances where worth it. 11:23, 17 August 2010 (EDT)Machine13.

:The British people had the same information as everyone else, which you call lies. "Invading a country for having a government you don't like" is an absolute false statement. A government that paid $25,000 for every suicide attack in Israel. A government that actually used WMDs on their own people. A government that ignored all UN mandates. They were more than "don't like", they were a threat to Americans, to border nations, to Israel. In the aftermath of 9/11, the world gave Iraq notice which they chose to ignore. It wasn't just a blitzkrieg invasion overnight, it was discussed, voted on, high level negotiations for months. "Consequences were worth it," debatable since Iraq was falsely used as a rod to hit Bush with, leading directly to a dunce as president [the surge will not work-Obama) and the wrong people that lead our congress (war is lost-Reid) and (grotesque mistake- Pelosi). What stands is a democracy, an enemy turned ally, threats removed but at a high price of blood and treasure. --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 12:16, 17 August 2010 (EDT)
