ok, i agree with that 100% - but, if you knew what you know now and someone several months ago said "Colin, we need to invade Iraq right now" would you have a different opinion maybe than you did at the time?

At present it looks like there weren't WMDs in Iraq one year ago so with that information I would agree with you (subject to future revision, of course). It's a strange question though. Kind of like looking back on Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the benefit of hindsight and saying one wouldn't have used atomic weapons on Japan.
I think it was a fair decision to make at the time with the information made at the time.
Since the situation is still playing out, I might even switch opinions once again depending on what occurs. There will still be more to add to the hindsight caregory. Even hindsight is not 20/20.
