Ten years on, let's dispel five myths about the Iraq war.
1. It doesn't matter why we went in, it only matters that we got rid of Saddam Hussein.
Actually it does, greatly. Suppose the government eliminates someone and says he was a mass murderer.

If we don't find any evidence, it's only because he killed off witnesses. The lack of evidence is sufficient proof of his evil murdering ways.
