interesting. we might just see whether bush really will take unilateral action.

i say 'unilateral' because the UK is so much a pocket-state of the US that it makes no difference if we help out ....

- qo.

I don't think Bush will go at it alone, there is just two much opposition, and he lacks the resolve and leadership to show people that removing Saddam isn't just an American agenda but a global one. For other countries to back us, it must be about bringing freedom and hope to the people of Iraq. As justfied as we may be, without hard evidence the international community will not buy the WMD reason, Bush needs to make the issue bigger so that everyone can rally behind it.

maybe he should tell them that saddam makes the women wear Burqas and kids aren't allowed to fly kites.
