And remember the '91 UN resolution? The one that said that, among other things, unless Iraq disarmed entirely AND -- not "or" or "maybe afterwards" -- AND prove that they had done so, hostilities would immediately resume. Whether or not Hussein failed the former is debatable; he without a question failed the latter requirement. Ergo, hostilities could resume at any moment that we felt like.

So, we went into Iraq and deposed Hussein, in accordance with UN resolutions, finding hundreds of Hussein's mass graves in the process. Then what? If we left, we would have created a power vacuum, destabilizing the entire region and perhaps ending with someone even worse coming out in power.
