After Desert Storm, I seem to remember there was a minority who wanted to continue until Saddam was out of power, but most people wanted to bring our boys back home, provided Iraq wasn't causing any more trouble. I was kinda young during this time, so if I'm incorrect in my recollection, feel free to correct me.

I don't think we would have gotten UN support to keep going once the primary objective (liberating Kuwait) was complete.

As for 1441, if you scroll up, you'll see that I plainly stated that Iraq is violating 1441 and the threat of force needs to be there to stop him. I just think that it's not time to USE that force yet. We need to get the rest of the UN on our side, and pass a resolution which puts a specific timetable on compliance, and a specific consequence of inaction, instead of the ridiculously vague "serious consequences" mentioned in 1441.
