Not the mention that the UN inspectors were only shown what Saddam wanted them to see. There could literally be hundreds of tons of WMD's hidden in Iraq and we'd have little chance of finding them without good human intel. Of course we could have killed everyone who knew where they are in removing Saddam from power. But you don't need hundreds of tons of WMD's to kill thousands or even hundreds of thousands of innocents. You only need a few pounds. That few pounds could have been in Iraq when we invaded, but could be pretty much anywhere now. That's scary. But at least we have made sure that Saddam won't be producing any more.
