Stated over and over again doesn't change the fact that your position is highly debateable. For one thing, violation of the cease-fire was not our stated reason for going there.
We were told that he posed a threat. In reality, there are many other nations who happen to pose far more of threat. The weapons weren't there and many people have come to the conclusion that Saddam was in fact complying. He was letting the weapons inspectors in and all indications were that there were no WMD's. I know you disagree but the facts aren't there to support your belief.
Of course, the real reason we went in was regime change, and according to international law, that is illegal.
