How about I accept the CIA's take on events. They mention sanctions, not a couple of bombs.

Sanctions and UN supervision were also having the desired effect in Iraq too.

In the end its all about economics. War and bombs are merely tools employed by some to get to a place where they can support their pet economic theory and system back home.

Bin Laden seems to understand this well.
