The war is anticipated to have half a million civilian casualties (UN
estimates).  There may be tens of thousands of US soldiers killed.
These are almost certainties.  Personally, I'm not willing to gamble
with this kind of loss of life on the off-chance that Saddam will maybe
do something.

How are you going to feel when the body bags start coming home and the
mass graves start filling up because of the war?  Are you going to take
responsibility for the deaths of so many people?
