Lucky or Smart?

I have never understood why the left has obsessed over "stockpiles of WMD" in Iraq. Now we know that Saddam didn't have had any when we invaded. While the left seems to think this somehow invalidates the decision to go to war, despite the fact that WMD "stockpiles" were not the reason we went to war, I think it shows good fortune on our part. I mean, the other possibilities are that Saddam would have unleashed WMD during the invasion when it was clear that we would depose him, resulting in at best horrific civilian casualties amongst the unprotected Iraqi people, or that he would have resumed making WMD when the crumbling sanctions soon fell.
