However, more than being a mere U.N. smear, I think the article better shows that the alternatives to the war were far more deplorable.

A fading regime clinging to power with whatever means they could muster; sanctions that were starving people, destroying Iraqi society and lining the pockets of corrupt UN officials; a possible lift on the sanctions, increasing the likelihood of WMD development.
Yeah. I think it's better this way.
Millions of Iraqis liberated from an oppressive dictatorship. Iran opening up for inspection. Libya relinquishing its WMDs. North Korea intimidated into considering negotiations. Syria becoming more reasonable. Pakistan giving up its nuclear secrets dealer. Sounds pretty good to me.
