Don't you think there was more to it? The sanctions against Iraq were getting harder to keep going. Should the inspectors find nothing, then it would be very easy for Iraq to start lobbying to get the sanctions lifted.
That would allow Saddam to overtly acquire materials for chemical or nuclear weapons. At that point the Legality of a US invasion without a new security counsel resolution would have been highly questionable within the UN and allied countries. With the resolution, and the general uncooperativeness of Iraq, the US was able to invade legally. Of course, as I have always said before. We can and should invade anybody we want to when we want for what ever reasons we want to regardless of the UN. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Exactly - the rest of the World suspected and followed the process to > find out.
