I'm sure he violated those terms nine ways from Sunday. I also assume that UN should have done something about it sooner. But how do those facts justify our invasion?

OK. Fair enough. No gaurantees. What does his trend since the Gulf War tell you? If you were betting on the outcome, what would you bet on?

I would bet the trend in place in 2002-2003 would continue. IOW, time was on our side.

...So, if he did have it and sent it to someone we didn't like and they sent it back to us, it would have been bad. Is that a risk we should take?

That's a risk we are taking. I don't see how the invasion reduced that risk.

IOW wait till the thing hits us in the face and then react?...

No. The approach should have been to inspect. If he prevented access to any site, that site got destroyed. As it should have been since the cease fire.
