Iran has been and will be far more dangerous and yet we do nothing.
North Korea has threatened and has been saying they will develop missiles.
Saudi Arabia has closer ties to Al Quida than Iraq ever had.... and what have we done to them? Nothing but let oil prices skyrocket so that the King and his family can make more $$$.
Again, if this there has been a consistent concern about Saddam and Iraq's potential aggression using WMD and potentially developing nuclear weapons is your support and defense for the war, then where are your cries for us to invade Iran, Saudi Arabia and North Korea???????

I think we gave Iraq many opportunities and almost 10 years before we used military force to over through Saddam and his government. I also think North Korea, Iran and potentially a few other nations are carefully watching how we handle Iraq. If we fail, they will see that as weakness and take advantage of it. I think North Korea is on the verge of giving in to international demands in part because of they have concerns about the crazy cowboy in the White House. If we leave Iraq in chaos, Iran will attempt to stabilize the region in their own way to their own advantage. I don't want that, and I think many in the ME are concerned about that also.
All the above is just my take on the situation. I admit that I may be 100% wrong.
