people can support regime removal but not the means that have been followed to achieve it.
What you gung-ho war people consistently over look is that people in the rest of the world
were never against war, they just wanted it to be a last resort.
You say 'blah blah 12 years worth of resolutions'. The reality is that Iraq only came back to public
attention because of US efforts, they got weapon inspectors re-instated to Iraq but NEVER intended to listen
to what they said. This was very hypocritical, and caused a lot of mistrust in many countries.
The US said they wanted to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, they neglected
to say that they wanted regime change and would settle for nothing less (again deceiving the international community)
The weapon inspectors didn't have a timetable of years, in fact they said their job could be done in three months.. The US couldn't wait three months, not because Saddam was an imminent threat, but because of logistical reasons (maybe practical but not the best moral reason for starting a war)..
The reason people are anti-GWB and his cronies is simple. We don't trust them.
Now I haven't heard one person say the Iraqi people wouldn't be better off without Saddam. It is sad
that the Arab world sees the civilians dying and blame the US, when thousands(or more) died under Saddam
and they said nothing.
I just hope there is a swift successful resolution to this now the path has been chosen.
