They did not believe that Saddam had WMDs and they used that to not support the US going to war in Iraq. It was the US telling everybody that Saddam had WMDs and countries like France and Germany saying they didn't. So as a compromise they wnated the US to agree to letting the inspectors finish the job. But the US said no to everybody.

If you do not see the no vote from France, Germany, Russia and China as a dissuasion to go to war, then what do you consider as dissuasion?

Lead it loud and clear, these countries did dissuade the US since they believed Saddam did not have any WMDs. They were right. Bush and Cheney were not wrong. They too believed it but instead chose to lie.

Everybody other than Dumbya and his neocons (and let's not forget the poodle across the poind) believed that whatever hanky-panky that Saddam may have been doing, would be exposed by the UN inspectors.

And nobody felt that Saddam was such a grave danger that they had to invade and get entangled in the tar pits of Mesopotomia. Nobody except Dumbya and his band of geniuses, that is!
