I base my beliefs on personal experience, not what someone has told me or propaganda I've read, or history revisionists "forgetting" everything that lead up to 2003.

In point of fact I'm
not forgetting anything. I recall with absoulte clarity that a number of rationales for the invasion of Iraq were trotted out. They changed as each premise was proven to be untrue. I find it rather ironic that your so-called personal experiences seem to preclude you from accepting certain - highly relevant - facts.

You wish to believe the crux of the liberation effort was WMD -- of which no evidence was found -- justifying your disagreement with and criticism of the military action. Very convenient, tidy and warm. I'm sure I'll not change your mind and you'll not change mine.

Sorry? I've stated no such thing. I knew there was no WMD, I knew it was a load of baloney; an excuse dreamt up to 'justify' an illegal invasion of another sovereign nation. i've never maintained otherwise and I've certainly not stated anything like you are suggesting I am in this thread.
Talk of "regime change" and, in particular, "liberation" is disingenuous at best.
