I think years down the road we will see this as a land mark decision by the US, helping the negotiating power of the UN. The UN voted on a act to disarm Iraq or severe consqeuences would be forth coming. Twelve years after this act passed he is still not complying. By the US acting on the original terms of the deal, the world will realize that someone is willing to enforce the UN's policies even after the UN themselves have backed down. We are following through with what was set out 12 years ago. The UN is proving to be as spineless as used car salesman. Why bother making policies if you aren't going to enforce them. No one wants war, but if we don't stop renegade dictators from disobeying the UN the UN will truely be rendered useless.
