I have a 10 year old daughter. I tell her not to talk to strangers. This preventive tactic seems a lot smarter to me than waiting for her to get in a car with a child molestor, and then telling her not to do that.

That is a perfect example of Fear Mongering!
Thanks for the contribution!

But please, carry on with your "lessons."
Those of us with smaller brains will try our best to keep up with you.

This should help you to better see the issue of why we invaded.
All of these reasons existed at the time but the Administration couldn't speak to some of them, so they mentioned the reasons they could. (You'll note that the segment marked "Prevent Larger War" includes the perception that Saddam had real WMD's and that is why we had to disarm him.) And, being unaccustomed to blatantly withholding the truth from the public they did it in a less smooth manner than the liberal public is accustomed to being schmoozed.
Some of the reasons STILL can't be acknowledged now. But in time they will be.
