No Carol - for your contention to be correct it would mean that from 1991 until 1998 Saddam Hussein and Ba'athist Regime in power in Iraq had complied - the international community know that that was not the case as reported to them by the IAEA and UNSCOM inspectors - Saddam Hussein has been in non-compliance with UN Resolutions since 1991 - Fact, fully accepted by the UN Security Council when it unanimously passed Resolution 1441.
