Bush didn’t manufacture evidence, but he did accept and act on incorrect information which brings his ability to make rational decisions into question. That he did attack Iraq while still operating in Afghanistan based on questionable information indicates the decision was an emotional one, which tends to present things in black and white. The Axis of Evil label is also an emotional, black and white, view of the world and is ultimately useless if not dangerous.

Again, Bush wasn’t the only one squawking about WMDs. Many US politicians were, including many democrats, for a quite some time. Also, the decision to attack the Ba’athist regime was not his alone. Our elected representatives had to vote on it, and voted in favor of it.
