its underlying assumption - that Saddam was no threat to anybody, and the fact that WMDs haven't been found yet proves it - is unlikely to the point of absurdity.

I cannot imagine how any reader with a functioning synapse could conclude that this was the "underlying assumption" of my post.

Different threats require different responses. The degree and nature of this threat may have been distorted in a way that made a desired response seem more appropriate than it may actually have been. Decisions that have to be taken in the near future will be based on threat assessments on other situations from many of the same people, so the accuracy of recent threat assessments is definitely an issue of significance.
