invasion wasn't necessarily the only way of getting rid of Saddam Hussein. If he could have been indicted as a war criminal and the people of Iraq invited to hand him over who knows what would have happened? And then I don't think there should have been an military occupation if it really was an action to liberate thePeople of Iraq. It should have been a UN led international force not Americans not British. The first thing you have to keep is order and keep people fed and having water in electricity and keep some order in the country. This isn't complicated this is just a disastrous series of decisions that shows they really didn't know what they were doing.
