12 years of putting up with Saddam is more than he deserved. Would we have really wanted to put up with 12 more? I seriously doubt that tougher inspections would have made him change; he was too dead set on getting things that he wasn't supposed to have and he just would have found better ways to hide his WMDs [weapons of mass destruction] or shipped them off somewhere else.
In my opinion Iraq as well as the rest of the world will be better off without him hanging around.
