And the problem was the Iraqi people suffering? (or was it WMD, or was it Oil, or was it regime change?). Well, that problem's been solved effectively...
At the time, people traded off what they thought the possible effects of several courses of action were. I think it is fair to say that those who thought it might bring more suffering (and therefore supported other means of ousting Saddam) saw that happen.
