<<Even without the WMDs, this brutal leader could destroy Seoul in a day. The city is within range of his artillery.>>

<<Of course, we could have done nothing in Iraq, and waited until Saddam too had gone shopping at AQ Khans Sam's Club for Nukes.>>

The endless refrain, "we HAD to occupy Iraq right then, there were no other possible strategies to protect the US from terrorists" is divorced from reality. There were a myriad of other strategies to protect us, and they won't vanish with your handwave.

As for the "Sam's Club for Nukes", Bush knew about it for years, but did little to nothing, did he? Oh yeah, too busy with the irrelevant, overflown regime next door.

Which is worse, Saddam as your hypothetical future shopper, or Pakistan as the _known_ worldwide WMD purveyor to America's enemies?
