As a Canadian, I'm really pissed at Bush. In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, I was solidly behind Bush. But I kept waiting for the evidence of WMD to show, it never did. Whenever Blix would announce some gain or advance in their search, the Bush adm. would downplay it. All the while they kept talking about some so-called evidence which ultimately never materialized, and in fact people at high levels of both the Brit and U.S. governments knew the evidence was "juiced up" to convince citizens of the urgent need to invade Iraq. At this point, it is very evident that the U.S. agenda was to invade Iraq from the outset.
This is not the gulf war. Iraq was not invading or bothering anyone else. In our culture, you don't invade another country unless it poses CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to your country. WMD were used as the reason for invading Iraq; it is clear that the main objective all along was not to rid Saddam of WMD, but to simply go after Saddam. Bush was patently dishonest. You would have to be very convincing to make me believe that Bush didn't know what was going on with the intelligence, either.
The whole thing stinks
