This is what I'd like to see happen.
Inspections continue, the good things Blix mentioned in his report followed thru (there was big movement on non-accompanied interviews, spy planes etc.). The things that Blix reported as not forthcoming need to be focused on now. If the inspectors find anything, or Iraq does not continue in the vein Blix's last report suggested, then war.
If the inspections continue to get further cooperation from the Iraqis, they will eventually come close to approaching an end. At that point, all the evidence so far is examined. Any further questions that need answering are put to Iraq/Saddam. If they are answered to the UN's satisfaction, the Inspectors withdraw.
What happens after that.
1) A smaller team of inspectors stay to continue montoring doing random unannounced checks (at customs as well) and importers have to report tracking and inventory information to the inspectors (in advance from the source!).
2) Spy planes remain doing random checks.
3) Intelligence is beefed up. (E.G. Turkey to allow (hopefully) sophisticated listening posts installed on the border).
4) The US elects proper politicians instead of business executives. (quite frankly the US government has handled this appallingly, and I think that's the reason why, and I don't just mean the war itself, but the interaction with the allies as well.).
5) The allies becoming allies again and our support for US reiterated.
6) Sanctions to be lifted apart from weapons related.
7) The US start to develop an alternative ME policy, particularly with regard to bribing the dictators/kings in power. (No. 2 reason US hated).
8) The US to help solve the Palestine/Israel problem instead of simply supporting the Israelies. (No 1 reason US hated).
9) The US/someone to get Bin Laden.
10) Iraq to be allowed to sell it's oil, but monitored.
11) Iraqis have to report all new war related installations, offices, laboratories & factories b4 they go live to the inspectors.
12) The size of the Iraqi airforce & army to be limited.
Okay, shoot me down....
