To put this one differently, more than 500 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq to date.

Not to mention a few Canadians, Brits, etc., too. My heart goes out to the families of these brave men and women.
Does anyone know the number of seriously injured? That has to be a couple of thousand by now.

Is there any plausible situation in which Hussein would have done anything to kill that many Americans? No. (Which is not to say that we should ignore others he might have killed.)

If SH was helping Al Queda and Al Queda killed Americans, would that count in your opinion? I think one of the reasons that there have not been any attacks on US soil is because the terroists are focused on Iraq right now.
Anyhow, the WMD was just one reason for regime change in Iraq. As a bonus, because they saw we were serious with Iraq, Libya is dismantling its nuclear program. Perhaps N. Korea is next.
Regime change will bring more stability to the middle east and that is another reason to have invaded.
