So what diplomatic tool would you use to force Saddam to disarm? If you don't want war and you don't want sanctions what do you have left? Don't say inspectors, they only work if your employing another form of action. The whole "oil for food" program was to help the Iraqi people, but of course Saddam kept what he wanted and left his people with little to nothing. For some reason a lot of people think that if sanctions were lifted that all would be just peachy keen and Saddam would turn into this nice and reasonable fellow.
