The UN could have enforced 1441. >>For example, did the US offer a resolution to intervene into Iraq when Saddam gassed Halabja and the UN refused?

These include Iraq’s sanctions-busting operations which were operating successfully even up to a few weeks before the coalition invasion. British interrogators were astonished to learn about the huge amount of money being spread around by Baath Party activists to buy loyalty. The general also said that Saddam’s hand-picked political appointees outranked senior generals. “He seemed very grateful that his ordeal was over. It was extraordinary how a man of his rank was so scared of the long reach of the regime. It is instructive for us to learn how such intimidation operates. If it terrifies a man like this, think what it must be like for junior soldiers and ordinary citizens.” timesonline.co.uk So what.
