its the opinion of the US government that Iraq has WMD

Actually, it's a fact.

North Korea is openly admitting to having them / manufacturing them and yet Iraq is the bigger threat

It is not the policy of the United States to wage war against every country with these weapons. North Korea situation is completely different. They're using it as blackmail to get what they want. If you don't understand that, you're misinformed on North Korea.

*cough*oil*cough*

While you're doing research, do some on the US and oil. You'll find the US kisses Saudi Arabia's ass for oil, but you'll find Iraq and oil makes absolutely no sense and in many ways is going completely backwards. If you haven't noticed, the US is trying to get out of the Middle East, not dig in deeper.

as for the US doing this for Iraq's people, that is a load of crap

Do you speak for the US government? I guess you forgot the hundreds of times the US helps others in need, and gets no thanks for it. Add this to the list.

the war was started on faulty information, yet the US government still decides to stand behind it.

Some of the intelligence was faulty, which comes to no surprise to anyone who understands the intelligence industry.

I gather all of this from watching CNN which is supposed to endorse the american war (more or less), so its not about being misinformed, its simply that so little of this war is based on pure fact

CNN has never been pro-war. And watching CNN you are misinformed. they'll give you the headlines, brief bits of information to give you a slight idea about what's going on, but everything is much much deeper than that. You never took the time to dig deeper and understand the full situation. Do some research, it'll be good for you. Or listen to some of us, we've more or less told you most of the things you missed.
