This is it

From the Washington Post:

UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 21 -- The chief U.N. weapons inspector ordered Iraq today to begin destroying its Al Samoud 2 missiles and associated equipment by March 1, setting up a major test of whether Iraqi President Saddam Hussein intends to disarm or face a war for openly defying a U.N. order.

This is the final showdown. I severely doubt that Saddam, allegedly bolstered by the peace demonstrations, will comply with this order. Even the French will have to call a material breach a material breach and support military action. (Or not - who can tell with them?)
