Ted the case fire agreement in effect gave Saddam a second chance to behave and gave the US a chance to avoid dealing with the potential mess of a post Saddam Iraq. If Saddam had followed the case fire agreement it would have been better for everyone involved. But once he started to think the US would not respond with major force to violations he basically ignored the agreement. An attack now would be taking back that second chance. It would be as much a delayed response to the invasion of Kuwait as it would be a response to kicking out the inspectors.

Tim, I am not sure how this argument has developed but you would be hard pressed to get anyone outside of this country to buy into it. And apparently, there are some that think we can ignore the rest of the world but I personally think it would be a big mistake and will cost us dearly in the future.
