Compliance, though grudging, would be to permit the UN inspectors back in.

Which is what Saddam had done, under considerable pressure, and not because he was a cooperative kind of guy.

The justification given in the run-up to the invasion was not "regime change", nor was it "truce violation", but "immanent threat", along with the WMD words thrown around. The UN was not finding them, so invasion was deemed necessary to do what the UN couldn't do.

Which turns out to have been finding something that wasn't there, an impossible task. Oh well.

I'll give you this, you stick to your point. We have had this exchange before, and you are consistent. For that reason, I doubt you would have much of a future in the Bush Administration.
