no they weren't. are you that naive about politics? there was already an agreement in place where they were getting oil, money and medicine in turn for suspending their nuclear programs. IAEA inspectors were there monitoring facilities etc. they promptly started enriching uranium in other facilities in another part of the country. in the end, the finally decided they were close enough to start trying to make a bomb, kicked out the IAEA inspectors, removed all UN seals from equipment, disabled all UN/IAEA cameras and monitoring devices, told the world to fuck off, started "test firing" missiles and started demanding more money and support. they walk out on talks and negotiations. they are the ones threatening war. thats not the actions and behavior of a regime which just wants peace and happiness.
that was the whole point of the breakdown with bush... they were violating the agreements anyway, they were still getting the benefits of the agreement and they were still agressively pursuing nuclear weapons. even clinton considered bombing them in 94'
