As for the question could we have contained Iraq - Well yes we could have at least for a time, but in the meantime the Iraqi people would still be suffering with Saddam and sanctions and the war might have only been delayed.

You seem to ignore the fact that Saddam might have imploded under his own weight, or the Iraqis may have revolted successfully. It would not be the first time a dictator has gone one of those two routes. Corrupted individuals tend to bring about their own undoing.

No one can know what would have happened had we not attacked. We can only speculate.
