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.
I don't blow smoke, but you made your point. You don't think I had reason to believe Saddam was a threat. You used your judgment to conclude that, given the known information, it was not reasonable to conclude that Saddam was a threat. Based on your judgment, the use of the military was excessive and not needed. I disagree. Our nation acted based on my beliefs. Now, which was my point much earlier, what are "we" going to do about it?
