The UNSC passed 17 resolutions against Iraq...
Larry J — (archived)

many of them demanding that he destroy all of his weapons of mass destruction. The evidence suggest he has not done so. That in itself is justification for the war.

But in this case, there is even more justification:

1. There is ample evidence from decidely non-Conservative groups like Human Rights Watch that Saddam has killed scores of thousands of his people. There is ample evidence that he has used WMD against both the Iranians and the Kurds. He is a murderous thug of the worst sort.

2. There is evidence that suggests Saddam does indeed have links to al Qaeda. This isn't the first time I've read of such linkage. Time will tell once we get access to Iraqi documents and personnel.

3. The US Congress voted to depose Saddam in 1998. This is just an enactment of that policy.
