Again, I said he "could" have had WMD's, he "maybe" had them, but there was no proof at all. Without that definitive proof, yes, the US LIED to get into Iraq.
Exactly, which is what I said. But just because there MIGHT have been isn't enough to go to war and lead to the destabilization of the region - which is what exactly happened.
Absolutely true, but again, there was no actual proof, and the excuse to go to war was that he had WMD's... without proof, there was no excuse for the war. IE, he lied.

So did I, so did many people.
There were 41 Countries - according to your link - that went into Iraq with the US.
There were 54 Countries who were against Iraq.

It needs to also be said that despite some of the countries that went in with the US, a LOT of their citizens were still against the war.
And, by the by, even people in the US realize Iraq was a mistake as time as gone on.

Saddam was a monster, Saddam was a powder keg waiting to blow but the US had no excuse to go into Iraq, which is why they made up one.
