There were around 100 inspectors in Iraq at full strength, or one inspector for each 1,700 square miles. And that's discounting the active non-cooperation by Saddam, and infiltration of the inspection process by his agents during the entire process.
These marvelous "seals." North Korea walked in and broke them off their nuclear equipment and threw them away. What did the U.N. do about it except have another case of the vapors? If Saddam threw the inspectors out and busted open the seals, what would have happened?
Is defying a U.N. edict sufficient and legitimate reason to go to war? Really?
Does anyone actually think this stuff out step by step?
All of this assumes, of course, that a nation with hundreds of millions of dollars in resources couldn't figure out a way to defeat such seals. But that's another line of reasoning.
BTW, does anyone wonder why these explosives had not been destroyed instead of simply "sealed?"

Again, like some others here, your faith in the U.N. is touching.
