You have to be fairly naive to swallow this.
America isn't justified to invade any country for any reason but one.
It is an empire and is the strongest nation on the earth. So "The Strong do what they can and the Weak Suffer what they must."
The WMD's was smokescreen to distract the masses and keep them from getting upset about the US outright invading a sovereign nation and overthrowing it's government.
