Fact is: the intel used to justify the Iraq war was botched (Curveball) and everyone - including Bush and Blair - knew it. They wanted their war, they did it anyways, they lied about the reasons.
Opposed to Afghanistan some countries (the "old" Europe) didnt want to play along this time and got ridiculed for that back then.
We can now discuss forth and back who said what when - but what I wrote above was the direct justification for attacking Iraq - well knowing that Hussein was not part of Al Queida and without any proof for any WMDs.
