Saddam was going to go to war again if left in power. There is no way we would acquisce in his seizing control of the entire Persian Gulf which was his lifetime ambition. If he was wise, he'd postpone his next war long enough to restart his WMD programs and present us with a problem far far nastier and costly than what we are dealing with now. The Duelfer report confirms he intended to restart his WMD programs as soon as he could. In addition to his regional aggressive imperial ambitions, there is Saddam's past, present, and according to Vladimir Putin's intelligence service, his intended future sponsorship of terror against our country. All of that does amount to a threat to our country, however politically expedient and emotionally satisfying it may be to ignore that threat.
