There was a massive PR and bribery campaign to get sanctions lifted. When that finally happened and it would have, he would be left alone. You are telling me that George Bush, post 9/11, would let that happen? Let Saddam have free reign? Man, what a weak leader that would make him. Better not vote for him. Your logic simply does not compute. 9/11 gave Bush carte blanche to force a total clean up of the Oil for Food program and ensure that a workable, verifiable, functional and world-sanctioned program of verification and containment was in place on Iraq. Forever. That better functioning program could have been used the world over. Now that would be a "Bush Doctorine" worth putting in the history books. Instead, he decided to skip doing the right thing for doing what he wanted. THAT IS NOT LEADERSHIP. The problem I have with blind followers is that they don't recognize what leadership really is.
