So, you really think that weapons of mass destruction is the true reason for war? I think the US goverment getting ride of Saddam because of alot of things and the weapons are not that important....

I think its all about Oil... The US and the world in general are using more and more oil, even with new technology, then we need more oil. Today the biggest supplier of oil is Saudi Arabia, however their goverment/kingdom is pressed by muslims, which could take power today, if Saudi Arabia did not have the US trops in their country. But someday the muslims will have grown in forces and it will not matter, and the Saudi Arabia goverment will be replaced by muslims... now if that happens, then 2/3 of all oil in the world will be in the hands of hardcore muslims - which will use this power to get US trops out of Saudi Arabia, and probably even worse things (ex. economic terror)... If there are no US trops, then Saddam will be able to do whatever he wants, and western economy will be sent into the dark ages.

Now, there could be a solution to Saudi Arabia muslims taking power, and that is getting rid of Saddam now, and also getting Iraq back in the oil game. Then US trops could be moved from Saudi Arabia, which will mean less terrorism with less chance of muslims taking power in Saudi Arabia, and when/if 2/3 of worlds oil fall into muslim hands, then there will be enough of other suppliers, with Iraq leading, to take most of Saudi oil production.

If they find mass destruction weapons or not - I really do not think it matters... most wars are started/tricked by some event... but when the war is over, then the story have changed to a matter of power - who will dominate who. There will also be weapons of mass destruction after the war, but the truth/history will be written by those who won on the battle field, and thats why the US have no choice but to get ride of Saddam...
