That is a false dilemma.

There are no facts establishing that if Saddam had WMDs, any harm would come to the United States. In fact, the CIA said it was unlikely. Saddam did, in fact, have WMDs during the 1980's and early 1990's. No harm came to the United States due to his possession of WMDs, even after we kicked the crap out of his army.

Even if he had WMDs and the intent to use them against us (of course there was no such intent), he was incapable of delivering a WMDs attack in a meaningful way.

Of course there is also the fact that we have over 10,000 nuclear weapons, which serves as quite a deterrant to attacking the US.
