Asking me is pointless, I have already stated what I would have done and why. Everyone who ever talked to me on the subject prior to our invasion of Iraq knew my opinion. People knew Bush's opinion too, long before he made his formal case for war.

Fantastic job in dodging the question. Why don't you give me numbers and statistics, because it seems like you don't know what was going on in Iraq before the invasion. How many Iraqi people were killed by Saddam between 1992 and 2003? What's the yearly distribution of those deaths? Was he a danger at all to Kuwait after Desert Storm, and if yes, can you provide any evidence? Did the UN think he was a threat as each year after Desert Storm they found no weapons?
What I'm subtly getting at is that you're blowing smoke. You have absolutely no reason whatsoever to think Saddam was a threat, which has been demonstrated time and again.
