It's against international law to invade and pillage your neighbors, but unless you are willing to violate sovereignty, it's practically impossible to hold those responsible to account for their actions......If sanctions couldn't be lifted or sustained, what options were available?

The sanctions were working. The Iraqi people had to do their part. They could have revolted. As it was, after the US invaded, Saddam couldn't find all that many Iraqis to protect him. He was found in some hole underground. Contrast that with OBL. OBL must have quite an infrastructure to keep him in hiding.

My point is that violating sovereignity is tricky business. All other avenues have to be employed to bring about justice.
