Far better to invade and remove SADDAM before he developed new WMD capabilities that would drastically increase the cost of any invasion. The United States was already at war with Saddam's regime prior to the invasion. The United States had been bombing Iraq every year since the first GULF WAR. The dismantlement of sanctions by unfaithful members of the international community including 3 members of the Security Council was the last straw. SADDAM had to be removed before he rebuilt is prior capabilities and once again gravely threatened the region!
Again, nothing Saddam could have done is worse than the chaos and misery we've inflicted on the region by deposing him.
I've been to Kuwait, and I saw what he did there in the 90s. I remember all of the damage, talked to the Kuwaitis, saw the oil fires.......you could see them from the space.
I beg to differ.
