What "facts" am I excluding Amos?? I will stand by what I said:

"The rationale behind the war was faultless when you consider the alternatives from the point of view of the US, at the time.

In retrospect taking into account what came to light as a result of US actions it can be seen as beneficial from the perspective of the Gulf States, those dependent upon oil from the region, and the rest of the world at large.

Think about it."
