Saddam wanted WMDs, and still imported banned materials

That headline is what the war supporters should focus on because it is key. It is not an imagined war justification, but a real one, and a stated one (before, during, and after the war).

According to the head of the US weapons inspection team Saddam had no stockpiles of WMD. The enemies of the Iraq War, namely the terrorists, tyrants, French, and Democrats will likely see this as a vindication of their view (though many Democrats supported the war, if you can judge them by their vote, which in the case of Kerry you can't...or you can...or you can't...you get the picture) that the Iraq war was unnecessary, and unjustified.

But if you don't fit into one of the previously mentioned categories, you may actually care about the truth and you will notice that (according to this article:

Saddam was importing banned materials, working on unmanned aerial vehicles in violation of U.N. agreements and maintaining a dual-use industrial sector that could produce weapons.

Saddam had intentions of restarting weapons programs at some point, after suspicion and inspections from the international community waned

Folks, this is exactly what President Bush meant when he said:

Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option.

That quote is from the 2003 State of the Union. I would recommend reading it again. You will find that the liberation of the Iraqi people from a murderous tyrant and stopping Saddam from building WMDs now and in the future were all a part of our reasoning for war. Saddam couldn't be contained. Those who argued against the war were the very people and nations seeking to lift the sanctions (thereby ending containment). Then when we threaten force suddenly they tell us containment was a brilliant idea that would really work. Getting rid of Saddam was right. Many of the problems today could have and would have been avoided if the world would have gone along. They didn't, and once again it is up to America our better friends to try to tackle serious world problems.
