In school at the time (in Western Civ class IIRC, lol) we watched this documentary on Saddam about how evil he was. It's the one where he walks around a table and like kills someone or cuts off their hand. I thought he was super evil, but I still knew the WMD thing was a lie. I marched to just let the inspectors finish their inspection. But they invaded before they could give an all-clear. Funny.
It was wild how many people saw it as a revenge response to 9/11.
Seeing the invasion of Iraq as revenge for 9/11 might seem dumb, but I was loudly informed by a coworker today that the covid pandemic was actually created by a partnership between China and Fauci to randomly kill Ameticans for some unspecified reason. My criteria for dumb has shifted. Fuck Fauci, of course, but for the shit he actually did/didn't do.
