It definitely wasn't obvious then that sanctions would not work.

Only if you are blind....

As for sanctions working now, we don't really have any idea whether they are or are not.

There are no inspectors. Iraq takes potshots at our oveflights. Iraq fails to comply with numerous provisions of the armistice. The Iraqi people are starving while Saddam build more palaces....

I think the evidence is pretty clear....
