Actually, I don't remember you telling me that before, especially the part about tying stronger inspections with laxer sanctions. Interesting solution, though I'd push harder to evict Saddam and Sons as war criminals.

I may not have addressed the posts to you directly, but I have made that point a number of time. I would not try to evict Saddam and sons....that is the very policy that led to impasses and hardening of positions. I would instead tie human rights improvements as well to relaxing of sanctions and an eventual promise of more normal relations with the world community.

I don't buy this was the "will of the U.N. majority," though. This was demonstrated by France and Russia's hypocrisy when it came to sanctions, and no amount of unilateralism on the part of Bush can excuse them.

Continued and actually stronger inspections was indeed the wish of the UN. The team hardly got a chance to do its job and in fact demonstrated that inspections backed by force were opening doors and producing results. Had the US pursued a policy of replacing our army in Kuwait with a UN force of credible strenght, I believe that the process would have worked. And France did propose just such a solution in the waning days of the bush sharade.
