Anyone can justify anything if they work hard enough. If you justify invasion (forgetting stated other reasons) then you admit that the US is the biggest Thug nation on Earth. We invaded because we could get away with it. Simply because we could. The supposed "moral superiority" of the American position toward Iraq is the scariest thing I've seen in a long time. That is tantamount to saying we can do anything, to anyone, at any time, as long as we can have a good enough reason. The Rule of International Law appears to now mean nothing.
And if Saddam is so bad, what about the African and S. American dictators? Why don't we invade them?
No oil.
