If the United Nations Security Council rushes to send inspectors back into Iraq on Baghdad’s promise of cooperation and under the old rules, it will be playing a chump’s game, one Saddam Hussein has won countless times. Once in a while, the inspectors will face delay, obstruction, bugging and a succession of manufactured crises. These will prompt familiar fights among the major powers over whether a particular Iraqi act constitutes a major violation. Soon the United Sates will declare the whole exercise a failure and invade Iraq.
That is an outcome worth avoiding. For the United States, the costs of such a war include the death of soldiers, economic losses caused by the effect of soaring oil prices on a fragile stock market, the need to post tens of thousands of troops in Iraq for many years, lingering resentment among allies whose cooperation we need and the near certainty of creating legions of new terrorists who hate America. For the United Nations, the result would be a terrible defeat, an admission of weakness and its inability to impose its writ on a villain. For the world as a whole, the costs will include the deaths of innocent Iraqis, increased repression in Arab states coping with domestic political anger and possibly chaos in the region.
That is the short list. The worst-case outcomes include an attack with biological weapons on Israel and on American troops at their weakest moment-as they assemble in the region-by, a man with nothing to lose. What would be the likely response by both countries, and with what long-term consequence?
There is a credible alternative to these scenarios that is worth trying. It is a new system of coercive inspection to replace the game of cat and mouse that Mr. Hussein has perfected. The Security Council would create a powerful, American-led multinational military force, the inspection implementation force, that would enable the inspection teams to carry out "comply or else" inspections. If Iraq refused to accept, or obstructed the inspections, regime change (preferably under a United Nations mandate) Would be back on the table.
