Pritchke - the war for oil alone argument is a very weak case. A better case is for long term stability as what Bardan said.

Saddam had his chances and he failed miserably and he isn't going to cave in by UN sanctions alone or UN pressure.

It's pretty obvious that UN santions never really had the desired effect on saddam's regime. I think several countries have been skirting or violating UN sanctions since 1991.

Sanctions, in fact, bolstered his regime by making sure that his own people suffered while blaming it all on the US.
