I believe that you were arguing that there were more reasons thanjust 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.
