Terrorism was going on long before Bush, Blair, Clinton,etc.
True, I believe the intention for the invasion of Iraq has come and gone,
something still was needed at the time. If there were no WMD, then why did
he play around with the UN inspectors for 12 yrs.

1998 - 1991 = 7

Seven years. There were no UN inspectors to play around with
from 1999 to 2002, or prior to 1991. From the return of the UN
inspectors late in 2002, to the invasion in 2003, his cooperation
was 'unprecedented' according to the Chief Inspector, whereas
some inspectors referred to the US 'intelligence' as '****'. Then
there was also the matter of submittign forged documents to the
IAEA. The only people who disputed that Iraq was cooperating
were those who were obstructing the inspectors by feeding
them that '****'. Bush, Cheney, Rice, etc.

Don't forget, he was an ally at one time.
There was an Iraqi fighter pilot that did fire a missle at one of our
warships during the Gulf war/conflict and nothing was done about it.

For the same reason that the British didn't do anything when we
shot down one of their Tornados. (AFAIK, the only unequivical
confirmed kill by a Patriot Missle under actual combat conditions).
They were friendly fire incidents.

Lastly, if you want to see what the Arabic world is saying about us, then
read it. Google...al-jezeera and click on English.
I have been for some
time. You might find out some interesting bits there.

Mr Daneliuk gave us another good source:

You should also try:

http://www.iaea.org
and
http://www.unmovic.org

for pre-invasion evaluations of the putative Iraqi WMD program.
