There are more alternatives than either inspect or war. Before we jump into war it would be reasonable to be forcefully agressive in the inspections. The inspectors should be allowed to declare relatively small "freeze zones" from time to time. In one of these zones all traffic would be held at a standstill until suspect vehicles and facilities passed an inspection. An orbiting JSTAR would make sure that any non-compliant vehicles would be terminated.

Such missions may be provocative and heavy-handed but they would either avoid war by forcing Saddam to be fully compliant or would bring on a more justified war if Saddam chooses to resist the inspections with arms.
