Although that probably did 'spur' the resulting efect of Saddams unwillingness to comply to the UN mandates that he has 'side-stepped' for so many years.
well it is up to the UN to enforce its laws. Also considering there were no WMDs to be found there is no proof, even today, that he side-stepped anything is there.
On the other hand by attacking Iraq there is proof some countries are willing to side-step UN rules
