I'd add only a three things to your excellent analysis, John, to describe my position:

1) defining what is or isn't a WMD has been poorly done. I view non-dirty nukes to be in a separate class, alone. The only thing that could approach it is if someone created and distributed an unstoppable biological weapon.

A MOAB is likely to kill more than a gas attack.

2)I do believe Hussein has a long record of supporting terrorists. So do we and others, though we generally legitimize them by renaming them 'freedom fighters'. Have his terrorists attacked us? That's the weakest link in that argument, imo.

3) A greater case for pre-emptive action exists with Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia and Lebanon for supporting terrorists who have attacked Americans in recent years.
