My last statement was probably a bit strong . The only resolution at the UN currently that i accept, is the one proposed by Canada :
1. step by step points of disarmement
2. limited timeframe
3. meeting of the security council to report if each step is ok or not (vote on each of these steps)
4. If one of the steps is not ok within the end date, then automatic use of force (this would probably lead to regime change, even though it might not, the goal here is disarmement, and not regime change)...

The only problem with Canada's proposed resolution is the time frame, it should be limited in time, but the inspectors should be given enough time (So I'm not sure if the 28th of Marcho would be enough for the inspectors - the inspectors would have to decide)
