Unfortunately, all I see is a stall tactic that was anticipated by GW and was part of his speech to the UN.
The question for GW (and the people in the US) is when Iraq acts as expected, stalling and evading, what position is the UN going to take? If the UN does not enforce its own directives, then it will be proven to be a toothless tiger, so much the worse for the world (and all of those folks working for the UN who make their money and gain their sense of power thru exercising it). In this case, does GW (and the American people) have the stomach for not only a unilateral action but also a unilateral support and rebuilding effort. This may be the toughest question and perhaps the oil comment made earlier will encourage a UN-driven enforcement. No simple answers here, just tough questions and history to show what has happened when tough decisions aren't made.

I'm not commenting here on GW or his plans, just that the idea of the UN as a solution reminds me of Chamberlain and Munich... -Ben ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
