Just a little historical perspective. Bush did not 'act alone' or for 'personal gain'. It's not like Iraq had not been warned.
The U.N, like our Congress, acted on the junk intel they were fed, remember? Go ask Colin Powell if he would again stand there in front of the board showing the trucks loaded with who-knows-what now that he knows it was al B.S.
He knew is was B.S. when he was saying it. He thought he was doing his job. That's no excuse for anyone. There was enough real intelligence that confirmed that there were "no" weapons of mass destruction to be found. Enough to not invade. They wanted to invade no matter what and they did. Trucks and pipes. That's not intelligent enough to be intelligence.
