# Why not summarise it for me?
Let me know you understand it.

and it will answer the question.

If you can't even tell me what your six reasons were, you obviously aren't as 'in the now' as you'd like people to think.

# The reasons are stated in the link I gave.
Stop playing dumb.

# No, they weren't.
Just give me one reason other than WMDs.

One.

Or would you rather us think that you're just parrotting someone else's opinions?

# I've read it.
Reasons:
Thwarting weapons inspections,
continuing weapons programs,
aspiring to nuclear weapons,
threatening national security,
threatening peace and security of the region,
brutal repression of its civilian population.

# So have I -
What reasons did you get out of it? Other than weapons inspectors being obstructed?

# What's wrong with weapons inspectors being obstructed as a reason?
(_Felix 's school of dance and occult sciences, Sun 27 Feb 2005, 7:02, archived)
# I believe that you were arguing that there were more reasons than
just WMDs. The obstruction of weapons inspectors is just another facet of the WMD issue, not a whole new reason for invasion.

# But the point of this
- I'm guessing - is to say "the war was a mistake". Which only works for the specific reason of WMDs existing in Iraq, since there apparently weren't any. But reasons like thwarting inspections remain valid. Iraq was being aggressive and totalitarian.

# I have mentioned above that I do not deny Saddam's pre-war behaviour,
But this does not give America the right to step in.

Similarly, If I see someone in the pub that looks like they might be able to beat me up, I am not allowed to make a pre-emptive strike.
