The United States wants to remove Saddam Hussein from power; its main allies would be content with his disarmament. The United States, therefore, wants to keep the United Nations weapons inspectors out of Iraq; its allies want to get them back in.

Correction: our allies want to get inspectors back in for the sake of inspections. Even the dullest dullard can comprehend that disarming a regime absolutely bent on possessing WMD is fruitless. As soon as Iraq is certified "disarmed" and everyone moves on, the inspectors leave, and France and Russia get the sanctions lifted, Saddam will rebuild his WMD programs double-time. Remove the source of the trouble and get it over with.
