Interesting snippet from Hoover fellow Tod Lindberg, speculating that a League of Democracies institution, as promoted by John McCain, may have been more effective at enforcing the original sanctions on Iraq. Presumably without China, Russia, and other like-minded typically undemocratic nations playing blockage on the sanctions enforcement agenda, Saddam may have been brought to account through peaceful means.

I would further speculate that if the sanctions against Saddam had been effectively enforced, the need for the Iraq War would have dissipated in favour of more limited military action.
