He was weak in the sense that he would lose a war with the US, that's
pretty clear.  But, he allowed more invasive inspections before, stretched
out over several years.  I thought at the time that such inspections would
allow us to continue to contain him.  I'd be curious to see why the same
type of inspections that we had before would do any more than what was done
before.  Why was Hussein more vulnerable in 2003 than in 1991?

The main point that Gautam seems to be arguing is that whether or not to go
to war in Iraq was a point that reasonable moral people can differ on.
Words like "unjustifiable" tend to indicate that such a stand is impossible
for a reasonable moral person to have taken.
