No WMD

I would just like to comment on the fact that the search for WMD's is over. But still, based on what we know today, the president would have taken the same action to invade because this is about protecting the American people, so says Press Secretary Scott McClellan.
Protect us from what? Wasn't this the primary justification for preemptively striking and declaring war on them?
The vote in November favoring Bush doesn't mean we are going to stop asking why. I still want some kind of explanation of what we are doing there now and how it is different. People are dying for this cause, whatever it may be now, and that's a good enough reason. We still have the rest of the world judging us. The world looks for us to be moral. In the future, how we dealt with Iraq will be put in perspective. (Baseball players don't vote themselves into the Hall of Fame).

The search has cost millions of dollars, plus lives. I'm at least glad the search is over, for those reasons.
