In a post 9/11 world, where Saddam had previously used WMD, had tried to assasinate a United States president (the elder Bush) and had stated more than once that he wanted to see the USA distroyed....
AND
had defied 12 UN resolutions that each threatend retaliation, and in the end thwarted the last round of UN inspectors, Saddam was a major threat to the United States. There WAS compelling reason to remove him. the UN security councel did in fact vote to give the US the right to go in. again, when you say the UN, you are speaking about FRANCE, a pack of cowards bent of doing all they can do to weaken the United States because they want to be a world super power and saw the chance in thwarting the USA.
when you speak of the UN not agreeing, you are speaking of a real menis nation in France. You are not speaking of ALL of the UN.
Italy
Spain
Poland
among some 30 nations did in fact, agree with us and were in some part involved in the Iraq invasion.
what was unwise, was not fighting from day one to control every inch of Iraq.
