WMDs is the public reason, but it certainly isn't the only one. Theres:
1) Oil/Economy (never to be discounted, even for those who are against the war)
2) Atrocities committed by Hussein & Co. (yes, against his own people, look up stories about his son and olympics)
3) Failure to comply to Gulf War Treaty (let's face it, no one else did ANYTHING about this)
4) Tied in with #3, failure to comply with the latest U.N. resolution
5) Simple revenge (Hey, wouldn't you try to do something if there was a plot for your father's murder?)
I personally think people would be much less upset if they thought about this like they thought about Kosovo. "There's a tyrant running a country, harming/killing his own citizens, let's deal with it."

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
