That's your position. Mine is that the harder line was necessary to ensure that a real solution that is acceptable to us can be reached. Saddam has thumbed his nose at, and the UN has backed down from every demand it has made on Iraq over the last 11 years. Starting with more of the same would not work because the UN had squandered its credibility. Why would anyone expect another demand to work if it came from the UN without a credible threat of military action to back it up?

<<doing what should have been done BEFORE blowing our support from our potential allies >>

GST, why are you so concerned about these mythical "allies" of ours? Even if they existed, they wouldn't help us at all. Our "potential allies" cannot and will not offer any real help. Anything they do would be symbolic. What good is that?

You need to recognize this hard fact.
