Hussein seemed intent on developing a nuclear weapons program and sooner or later he would have acheived his goal(most likely with help from Russia, China, and yes, France). As his primary enemy, and target of propaganda, we would suddenly find ourselves in the crosshairs.

Using this sort of logic, we should invade every nation in the world. After all, they
will eventually have nuclear weapons so we should blow them up now.
If the Administration wanted to get rid of Hussein because he was a bad guy, then why didn't they just say that instead of the myriad of excuses they flung our general direction.
....he could have ties with terrorists
....he could be friends with Osama
....he could be building massive biological stores
....he could be seeking nuclear weapons
....he could be building a giant fricken' "laser" to carve his likeness on the moon, a place America has already annexed with our cunning use of flags.....
If the Administration had just told us that "Saddam is a bad guy, we're going to try to root him out." I'd have been behind the guys 110%.
Finding weapons of mass destruction is the crux of the war now, for me anyway...
I compare us not finding WMDs to Geraldo searching for Al Capones Vault.
