I guess the question I should ask is "was Saddam's Iraq a real threat to US security?"

Personally, I never really saw it that way. Probably not more than Saudi Arabia (a fertile breeding ground for extremists a-la Bin Laden), and certainly less than Iraq as it is now.

As far as the WMDs though, to me the US administration's backpedalling on their original claims has been a good indicator.

Again, it's not that it'd shock me if Saddam had WMDs (he had them in the 80's); I'd just like to see an actual WMD (not a delivery system or raw-and-needing-a-lot-of-processing materials) before coming to a conclusion.
