7. Yeah, I don't think so
There were 77 yes votes which means *not everyone* agreed it was necessary. But the much more damning point is that there was an alternative resolution that could've been voted for instead that would've allowed the weapons inspectors more time.

If that had happened (as it should have), we never would've gotten into this. So just saying "everyone though it was right at the time" is incredibly dishonest, as is the idea that the only options were to either vote for that particular resolution or do nothing.
