Actually, the hundreds of violations of UN sanctions by Sadam were the ultimate reason for the Iraq invasion. Just because the UN was too spineless to enforce their own sanctions doesn't mean we had to be spineless also. How long were we supposed to wait while Sadam was firing at our planes in the UN's no fly zone? Where are all the naysayers who bitched about George Sr when he followed UN mandates and did not take out Sadam in the first Gulf War? For someone who was "no threat to us," he sure had a way of projecting the fantasy that he had the biggest military in the region, and apparently not supporting terror means paying huge sums of money to the families of suicide bombers is just being a friendly old guy. I guess his own people hung him because his was such a benign regime.
