Even if none of those options worked, there was little harm in trying. If we had tried, then we could say with a straight face that we exhausted all alternatives before we invaded.

Those answers are self evident, based upon Hussein's actions, the actions of the UN and the Russians, Chinese and French. Indeed, we tried that approach for twelve years. It was obvious to anyone who cared to look that it was being unraveled at blinding speed by both Saddam and the countries mentioned.
