There were multiple reasons for the invasion of Iraq and one of those reasons was to send a message to the Muslim countries...get your act together or face the consequences.

Ah... thats the reason of invading Iraq!!!
I've been totally ignorant until this time.. I thought it was:
(a) because Hussein was on the verge of launching WMD at the US. At least that's what the "thing" said and who am I to not believe him.
(b) to topple Hussein and give "our freedoms" to the people of Iraq. Mmmm.. still waiting on that yet...
(c) in a general action against some "war on terrorism" cos that nasty Saddam is harboring terrorists blah.
I even took time out to see the massive amount of evidence as to why the US should invade immediately... but alas.. all these locations of sites containg WMD don't seem to be valid no more...
I thought ... forgive me, that it was just a matter of invading, visiting these sites and collecting the "evidence"... but hell, these damned clever Iraqi's have managed to devise a way of removing *ANY* traces of WMD from these locations... clever!! Nobody else had made this much progress in handling WMD material!
A meaningful interview.. even allowed in US media, was with Blix... this was before any invasion. Asked if he considered Iraq would use WMD at invasion time.... *slight laugh* and "No, I doubt we will see any WMD being used by Iraqi forces". I thought about that in my naivity and considered... this guy knows *something* somehow
Mmmm brings up the matter of a country that has and is developing/refining more WMD than any country in the world...
but, hell, that's another story!
