No need to kill tens of thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of Americans, and spend hundreds of billions.

Iraq had been bombed weekly for a decade, kept penned by no-fly zones and embargoed into a feeble and powerless state.

The continuance of inspections would have further defanged and already-impotent Hussein, and kept a multinational presence to prevent America from losing it's moral authority, and generating millions more vicious anti-American or anti-Bush enemies.

Hussein may or may not have been deposed by military force anyway. But it would have been after careful deliberation, multinationalities involved, and less damage throughout. Not following that path looks to the world simply like reckless and irresponsible war profiteering.
