agree totally. Preferably with "coalition", but IMHO will transpire with or without coalition (friendly Islamic) support. Saddam won't even have time to deliberate whether or not to accept the UN inspectors...I suspect we rather hope he will not, as he would deceive in all respects regardless of what he agrees to on paper. My impression is that the plans are made to put an end to his regime....rapidly.

Don't underestimate friendly Islamic support. The elder Bush played the cards perfectly, he winked at Saddam when Saddam had his troops on the Kuwaiti border and then turned around and slammed him, classic sting operation.
My scenario for the new sting is this: we take Saddam at his word that he will allow inspections when we drop the sanctions. So first we drop the sanctions, 100%. Second we land special forces at all his palaces to do inspections, accidentally break his favorite vases, etc. Sooner rather than later, Saddam gets mad and makes a few mistakes.
