The problem there is that buying oil would have just lined Saddam's pockets. The people wouldn't have been any better off. What we should have done is simply not bought Iraqi oil and asked the UN to pass a resolution that bars anyone in the UN from buying Iraqi oil. That would have starved Saddam out of power very quickly. Unless the french, germans and russians decided to prop him up for some oil, like they were doing in the Food For Oil program.
