and he was bad to refuse to comply, but do we have to be nasty back?
Who suffers under sanctions? The people, and we know it. Sanctions are ugly! There are other ways to get rid of one person without punishing millions.

Anyway, it turns out that that one person didn't have the WMD that he was accused of having. In other words, neither the war nor the sanctions were necessary. What we needed was plenty of inspectors to keep an eye on him.

Actually, why shouldn't every country have WMD? I think everybody can have them or nobody should. If only a few have them they can bully and dominate. That's the problem now. Some people would say only the good ones should have them. Who judges who is good? And what makes you think the leader of a "good" country cannot turn ugly?
