<<Saddam could have also complied with UN resolutions and completely disarmed which would have ended the sanctions. He could then rebuild his bio/chem/nuke facilities with no one to stop him. That would have required smarts though which he obviously doesn't have.>> If the SOB really wanted to get ahead he could have skipped any rebuilding of that stuff. Iraqi oil has the lowest pumphead cost in the world, $1 per barrel. If he had disarmed he would have been under the protection of the US to protect him at all costs instead of being the target.
