Quote:A non-inclusive list: Saddam/Iraq shielded, harbored, protected, and supported terrorists and al Qaeda;
You have evidence that Saddam supported Al Qaeda? Or harbored them? Assisted them? Conclusive evidence? I didn't think so.
Quote:Saddam/Iraq violated numerous UN resolutions;
So does the US and Israel. Immaterial to the question of justification.
Quote:Saddam/Iraq was either pursuing WMD, or failed to properly account for the whereabouts of his WMD stockpiles
Which one was it? That Saddam was pursuing WMD, or that he couldn't account for destroying all his old WMD?
Also, neither is an indication of a morally incorrect action. There's nothing wrong with a country pursuing weapons. It is the height of hypocrisy for you to claim this provides justification.
Quote:Saddam refused to cooperate with UN inspectors
They (the UN) certainly seemed to think he was cooperating in the months before the attack.
Quote:Saddam/Iraq violated the terms of the peace treaty following the Gulf War
Really? It wasn't a violation for us to drop bombs continually during that time? Some peace agreement.
Quote:Saddam/Iraq repeatedly fired on US aircraft patrolling the no-fly zone
You wrote 'patrolling' but obviously meant 'bombing.' You should get an editor.
Quote:Saddam/Iraq was a threat to the US
You have zero evidence of this.
0/7 sucks. You really should try harder.
