I have seen many CIA officials and ex-officials on the news that have tried to tell the administraton that there is no proof whatsoever that there are WMD in Iraq. But according to them Rumsfeld has gathered some civilians and pr-people who now put together a few facts to prove something that's not proven.

It is also very likely that the risc of terrorist attacks on the US will RISE when they invade Iraq.
And if you want to remove everybody who isn't complying with the UN you will have to remove a lot of people, including Sharon for example. (Still not complying to resolution 242 from 1967). And you better remove G.W. Bush to be shure, he has said many times that he will attack Iraq even if the UN decides against it.
Since most of the funding for Al Quada seems to come from Saudi Arabia (And most of the attackers from 9/11, too) why not attack them ? They are also a dictatorship. And some of their religios leaders sound very much like Osama
Furthermore going to war with the objectives the Bush administration has in mind might be horrible mistake.

So my main problem with the actions of the Bush administration is they throw all resouces at this war against Iraq, and almost nothing is done to really prevent terrorism. They are putting on a show. And a very bad one, to boot.
