Large numbers of Congress people have addressed this. They were not given proof. Why do you cling to this faint possibility?

I don't believe that was the case. If it had been the case, then the
world might have joined us in the endeavor.

I do believe we had a coalition...let's see..
Britain, South Korea, Australia, Albania, Bosnia, Azerbaijan,
Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Romainia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Denmark,
Japan, Lithuania, Mongolia....etc. etc... We did not go in alone.
Additional support came from Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, El
Salvador, Thialand and Kazakstan. I'm sure I'm leaving countries out...

As you have found a source, please give us the numbers of troops sent compared to the number of Americans sent. Now compare those numbers to the action to push Sadaam out of Kuwait. That was a true international coalition. The world saw the right and joined together. That was not the case in Iraq. The Iraq Invasion "coalition" was a joke. Britain joined us for obvious political reasons.

It seems to me that if Sadaam had possessed WMDs, that his neighbors
such as Iran would have been alarmed and would have joined us to
neutralize him.

Surely you jest.
Why would Iran do that...would you not sit back and watch two of your
enemies duke it out?

Iran had fought Iraq for many years and was depleted. Iraq is surrounded by many other countries, all of which would by any level of common sense have supported any effort to dethrone Sadaam if in fact he were seen as a dangerous threat to regional stability, which would certainly have been the case if he had WMD.
