Depends on what you mean by "significant." We know they used WMDs on Curds. We know they had intentions to be a world military power. We know that Saddam played cat and mouse with inspectors and couldn't or wouldn't give and account of his operations. Was he an immediate threat to the USA? Not in my opinion. Would he eventually be able to develop the weapons to make his threats real? I think so. Were the Sanctions working? How do you feel about the deaths of 500k children under the age of 5, hundreds of thousands of curds and shiites who were slaughtered, and threats to directed at the US, a direct and intended consequence of sanctions which were known to be failing for several years? Was Saddam our enemy? How do you feel about targeting innocents to cause harm to come to your enemy? Isn't that one of our definitions of terrorism? Target the regime or target the innocents hoping the results will spawn a revolution. Given that option, I choose the former. You?
