Weapon inspectors were thwrown out of iraq in 1998, because US/UK bombers bombed several factories US/UK thought were chemical weapon plants (nobody knows for sure if they were or not) + the US-Inspector-Spy quarrel. After that action Sadam threw them out and never came back.
I have no doubt that iraq has WMD(no nukes) but the problem is that with the US adim, you know that they want to get rid of you and that they will attack. Are you going to give all your weapons and let them march in easily? Ofcourse noone will do such thing. Just try to see it from their perspective.

As far as WMD's are concerened isn't it a fact that although he may not have them he has certainly tried to get them in the Last 10 years?

Why are we hypocrite and say that they support terrorists and they are evil and we are good...etc.
i don't support terrorism in anyway, but we should get rid of our own terrorists first before we should make this accusatinon...
And sure that he also tried to get them, and?? US/west gave it to him when he fought Iran. Are we so much special that he can use them against Iran and not against us? In his eyes probably the US army is a WMD too. The war is just to unbalanced to be "fair". How many US casuelties? 5 maybe? and 1000-2000 iraqi?
The only reason i heard here "pro-war" that i can understand is: USA has the biggest/strongest army, so everyone has to do what they want (Its back to the middle-ages, but its a fact now, middle-ages with better weapons). Its not fair, they are not right, but its a fact that they can do what they want.
History tells us that when a powerfull country, goes at war with another and the other can't stop them, a guerilla war follows (also known when its against you: Terrorism) its a way to wage war against someone who is a lot stronger.
So.... deal with it (how scary the thought even is)
And for the people that "thought/hoped" this war was for the good of Iraqi people and not about the money and power?
Dubya is selling the rights to US companies to exploit oil, rebuild factories EVEN rebuild roads and bridges that are not yet bombed (All ofcourse to companies with republican ties). If this administration was concerned for Iraqi people and their well being/democarcy, He would let the Iraqi rebuild it themself....
I have not heard any "good" reason yet to wage a war, other then the "we are the strongest and do what we want" theory.
