It probably wasn't winnable even as a multilateral action- at least not as Iraq is now. A multilateral force would have had similar goals, and would have run up against similar problems- and I just don't see how those goals could have been met. If the people of Iraq want a better form of government, they will find some good leaders, and support them. No outside agency can do much to reform a society, unless the society is rising out of ashes- not something the US, or a multilateral force, would be willing to do to Iraq (though I guess Falluja comes close...)
