The war was a long time coming. It should have happened under the Clinton administration, but he was a pussy. If you don't believe Clinton was a pussy, why didn't he take Bin Laden when he was offered? We could have easily locked him up forever in connection to the embassy bombing, Marine barracks bombing and the bombing of the USS Cole.
The UN wrote 17 resolutions over a period of about 12 years that all more or less said "comply or else we'll kick your ass." Of course, the UN never did kick Saddam's when they said they would, they just kept saying "comply or else we'll kick your ass." Those of you who have children know that if you don't back up your threats, they're empty and the child will walk all over you. That's what Saddam did. He knew the threats were empty, so he kept doing what he wanted, throwing out inspectors, making them wait at the front door for hours while things were taken out the back and shooting at our aircraft during a time of "cease fire". That last one was enough for war, let alone all the other stuff. I was there being shot at when we were under a time of "cease fire". I don't like being shot at, especially since we weren't supposed to be fighting.
I would rather us have not been in the middle east at all, but since we're there, our hand was practically forced to kick Saddam's ass. Everyone in the world agreed with that until Bush said it, proof of partisan politics.

"Just as a man who has fallen into a heap of filth ought to seek the great pond of water covered with lotuses, which is near by: even so seek thou for the great deathless lake of Nirvana to wash off the defilement of wrong. If the lake is not sought, it is not the fault of the lake."
