If they comply that will be great!
The problem is, over the past decade Iraq has used submitting to UN sanctions as a stalling tactic. Nothing new here.
Don't get me wrong, if they allow unfettered access and compliance to the Security Council Resolutions, there is no reason for military action. In this scenario, the world will be a better place, but if Saddam allows inspectors in AGAIN only to say, "no you can't go here, you can't go there, maybe tomorrow, etc.", the "war drum" will continue to beat.
My hope is that Saddam realizes the world doesn't want/will not accept him having access to weapons of mass destruction, and that without the possibility of "crying" US unilateralism as a defense ,he can't continue with his current plans.
My guess is that within a month of allowing access inspectors will say they are being denied access.
I believe military action is justified against Saddam if he does not comply, but I would love nothing better than for this to be resolved peacefully.
