I don't want to get in on this but the argument that it was justified because the 'inevitable' war took place on Iraqi land instead of American land is totally falacious.
Iraq never had anything to do with the terrorists of 9/11 and a full scale military invasion and occupation of a country is a completely different thing from acts of terrorism occuring in another country.
The Iraqi people are better off free from Saddam's regime. I'll say that much but I'm not going to get into whether or not I was for or against the war (despite deeply researching writing a paper for it in a poli sci course since it was the more unique thing to write just to be the devil's advocate) It's not that simple and if you make it that simple, you are cheating yourself.
