Second, though we did not have COMPLETE proof (just a bunch of circumstanial evidence and very good likly hoods that they had WMD, as an inspector said,
Which inspector?
Hans Blix was the head of the inspecion team and I never read a single thing about him saying that it was "very likely" that Iraq had WMD.
Everything I read indicated that Blix told the Bush folks that Iraq's WMD program was successfuly eliminated at the end of the first Gulf war.
That's probably why both Colin Powel and Condi Rice described Iraq in press conferences as "powerless and defanged" just before 9/11.

that almost everyone (contrys) thought that Iraq had WMD,
They did? which ones?

sence Iraq gave that message) But we correctly went in to free the people from a torturing dictator,
We did?
I thought we went in because Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney said that Iraq was an
imminent threat to US security.
It was only after we were in Iraq for months and we did not find any WMD that their story changed and the NEW reason we invaded became "to free Iraq from Saddam".
100,000+ dead civilian Iraqis sure aren't under Saddam's thumb anymore, that's for sure, eh?
Oh, and there are dozens of "torturing dictators" who are responsible for much greater death and suffering than Hussein, as spychopathic as he is. Take Rowanda, or any of the many African dictators slaughtering millions of people as we speak.
If we invaded Iraq to free it's people from a torturing dictator, why didn't we invade in Africa months before 9/11? We knew all of these things were going on there way back then?
I'll give you a hint. Those African nations don't have the second largest oil reserve in the world. Take a wild guess which country does...

and what do ya know, WE FOUND WMD!
No we didn't. We found conventional explosives, not WMD.
I have a question for you.
What role did Saddam Hussein or Iraqi citizens play in the WTC bombing on 9/11?
