I believe that the invasion was premeditated and deliberate. Hussein was doomed no matter the response.

I disagree. If Hussein had thrown open the door like South Africa, led our inspectors to the missiles that were in violation, not pushed back when U2 overflights were required and so on, then I think war would have been avoided. This would have been him showing the world he wanted to live up to his obligations.

Just allowing inspectors into the country was not "complying", it was "stringing along".

He didn't comply and war wasn't avoided. Now we just need to make our exit as speedy as possible, leaving as stable a situation as we can.
