re: boycott

superfluous donkey dung which you excel at

it appears to be your specialty

re: what is non-violence?

I don't know, in terms of a practical working concept.
Patricia made the comment, as per the linked post; ask her.

re: weakest argument for war, yadda, yadda

The definitive argument for war now is to build a lasting foundation for resolving conflicts through a predictable peaceful process, WITH THE ACTUAL THREAT OF FORCE IF YOU DON'T COMPLY, or you are for world chaos.

Think of Saddam as the poster boy example that will be set for effective world peace through diplomacy.

re: Saddam not an imminent threat

You do not know that. And you do not have to run the risk of your being wrong. I suppose you think that Saddam et al should send us a formal notice of his intent, and you will consider it to be bad form if he doesn't. -lol-

The U.S.A. will not foolishly run the risk which you are so eager to allow us to take.

re: grounds

The grounds are in U.N. Resolution 1441 and any previous resolutions which are INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. See Resolution 687.

re: Israel

Stupid comment, since Hawkmoon has educated you on the difference between Article 6 and Article 7 Resolutions.

The fact of the matter is that the precedent established now of enforcing U.N. Resolutions (or those of another body if France et al are allowed to disrupt the U.N. process because of their mercenary desires), means that the Israel - Palestine issue will be resolved, probably next, because of the precedent that is forged in dealing with Sadaam.

Assuming the U.N. or other body deems it fit to indict them under Article 7. You should petition the U.N. to do so.
