Bush was eager for regime change, and he acted more like a cowboy than a statesman.

You are entitled to your opinion. I favor the policy of pre-emption and I favor the take down of Saddam and the Baathist party and have since within the first year of the '91 cease fire. I have never viewed the war as being primarily about WMD's (to me it was part of a list of reasons and was not on the top of the list). I believe it to be a forward thinking extention of the war on terrorism...for multiple reasons which I have stated multiple times...and stated them pre-invasion.
