I can't help but think those who believe the war was an obvious thing to do, have no understanding of history, human psychology, sociology, and if they're halfway around the world and not physically involved anyway, are the biggest cowards.
There is nothing worse than a war. It kills, it humiliates, it destroys and luckily, it never produces the results the country which started it, wanted in the first place.
Of course, the war should not have started!!
Hasn't anybody thought of who'd replace Saddam and what he'd do?
Vacuum of power never lasts.
Hasn't anybody listened to Bush senior's advisors who knew it's the power of religion that would take over, not democracy (because that's what's been going on for generations in that area).
