There's no logic here. It is a childish argument. The US has WMDs. That is a fact. GW has NOT attacked more countries than Hussein did, because he alone is not responsible for the actions of the United States. Saddam Hussein was the dictator of his country, and personally responsible for the decision to invade Kuwait (and, presumably, Saudi Arabia to follow). The Bush administration presented its case to the Congress, and Congress voted to go to war. There's a big difference.
Why do we need to permit mushroom clouds to appear over our cities before we decide to defend ourselves? Hussein got his bluff called. Personally, I think we should do the same to North Korea, so be glad I'm not in charge. Threaten me in my house, I reserve the right to defend me and my family.
