The world (US included), the middle east in particular, did not want the war to go that far. Just get them out of Kuwait. End the immediate threat. Force him to submit.
He did submit, but as soon as the troops went home he started agian. If we wouldn't come after him when we had kicked his A$% and while we had a half a million troops in the country, why would we do it for a few violations of agreements.
Part of the reason Iraqis love Saddam is because they believe he beat America in the Gulf War(in some ways he beat us all). He was never force to personally sign any documents or publicly admit defeat. The entire time the Iraqi delegation and military leaders were accepting the terms of surrender, Saddam was on TV proclaiming victory.
