1.) Let's all agree: you were flamed because it's fun to flame each other.

2.) You are mistaken about the reason for the flame.  The group-think
wisdom at the time was, "Hussein is a terrorist who's going to nuke us
so take him out no matter the cost."

3.) There were multiple sources and including dept of defense war
games that said this would be stupid.

Purely from the (faux) security perspective the choices were this:

A.) Keep Hussein in the box and hope we can seal it up tight enough
that no crap gets out.

B.) Risk cleaning out the box but in the process destroying the box
and the means to clean out other boxes.

In other words, the warning, even given you buy the security threat,
was that we'd eliminate one threat but create many more while at the
same time taking on a charity case.

Which, of course, is exactly what's happened.
