1.) We couldn't afford it, it further bankrupted our nation.
2.) Was (another) unconstitutional war.
3.) Thousands of americans killed for something that had nothing to do with defense.
4.) Tens (maybe a hundred) thousand Iraqi's killed.
5.) Installed a government with a heavy islamic religious influence written into it. I can't believe republicans support this, my guess is they ignore this fact.
6.) Now americans will likely be taxed the rest of their lives to pay for the soldiers and bureacrats installed permanently in Iraq.
7.) Showed that we're willing to use our military to enforce UN sanctions having nothing to do with the US.
Those are just off the top of my head I'm sure I missed some obvious points. The only good thing is HOPEFULLY with the WMD lie americans have become less trustworthy of government and are less likely to cheer on another unprovoked war.
Note that these are all Libertarian reasons why the war should never have been fought. Any Republican who calls themselves a "Libertarian" (and there are many) should follow Ron Paul's advice and agree with just about all of this.
