The wording of "serious consequences" in UN1441 is spefically vague, and the actions that are to take place that fit "serious consequences" are unresolved. Though the UN made the resolution, certain influential members had no intention of enforcing it's own decision. To find the definition, you must go all the way back to the original terms for the cease fire, UN686/7. They clearly spell out that hostilities will resume should Iraq fail to uphold their side of the bargain. The UN has failed to enforce it's own resolutions for 12 years.

The choice and blame for this whole mess lies (and always has) with Saddam.

EDIT: And to those that will toss the red herring about the UN resolutions that Israel is in violation of, just more proof that the UN is ineffective and reduced to a useless debate club.

I don't know it Timber made the reference in this thread or not, but:
Senator Amidala, I second your vote of Nonconfidence.
