Saddam had multiple opportunities to avoid the war. He was an idiot, apparently, in addition to all of his other bad qualities. But please realize that Saddams failure to avail himself of opportunites to avoid war does not in any way change the morality (or legality) of Bush's decision to go to war. Saddam had an opportunity to avoid the bullet, but Bush pulled the trigger.
Congress authorized the use of force. That is all the authority Bush required to legally invade Iraq.
Morality is a matter of personal opinion and belief. You can argue that all day without any thing definitive showing up.
