Did I have to loose the Rook to get the Queen?

I played this game a week or so ago. Look at the setup. My opponent is about to play the King which I beleive was a big mistake. A few moves later I sac a Rook to get the Queen. I think I did the right thing and my opponnent resigned after he saw his Queen was gone, but he question my Rook sac. I think it was my only right choice at the time.

I play white.

I am not sure if he had to resign. He did get my Rook before I took his Queen, so he didn't loose that much in material. My position is obviously much better but still...

Any comments?
