I think Clinton would have gauged sentiment at the UN. If he felt he could get a resolution, he would have gone forward with the UN process. If he didn't think he could get UN support, he would have very quietly built up troops in the region and gone in without the UN. In the former case, the world would have been against iraq and they would be demoralized due to this. In the second case the mission would have taken them completely by surprise. So what I am saying is that Clinton would have likely removed SH if he felt the need (if there was REAL intelligence of WMDs, not to get the oil which in Bush's case is always a possibility)- but Clinton would have pulled it off without the foreign hysteria. Bush doesn't have the maturity to do things like Clinton did wrt foreign affairs, Bush can't keep his mouth shut.
