Was it something to do with WMDs at all?The way I remember it, only Blair cited WMDs as the reason for going to war. Bush merely mentioned them incidentally.
'Make' the region a haven for terrorists is a bit rich, seeing as Saddam didn't exactly exclude them and was probably likely to give them help, particularly if they were going in the direction of israel.

I'm not saying that there weren't any terrorists before America invaded,But now, there is no real infrastructure, a whole heap of extra available weaponry (new and used), and some extremely pissed off people. Some might call that a haven for terrorists.
