I still disagree with the decision to invade Iraq. The primary reason "we" chose to invade Iraq was because the previous administration believed they were in possession of nuclear weapons. The facts show that they were not in possession of nuclear weapons, but even without hindsight on the issue, there was no proof of nuclear weapon possession, so we never should've invaded. Invading nations and allowing lives to be lost on little to no evidence, which was essentially all the Bush administration had, is never good policy.
I don't believe that the Bushies really believed that Iraq had nukes. Read their statements about WMDs carefully and you can see the artfully crafted wording of their claims, just like the wording a skilled liar and/or lawyer would use.
