French and U.S. negotiatiors are closer to a deal to break a deadlock on a U.N. resolution addressing the situation in Iraq. French officials are studying an American compromise resolution dropping authorization to use force against Iraq.

France, which has veto power in the Security Council, has led opposition to initial U.S. proposals which called for the immediate use of force against Iraq if any Security Council member judged it to be impeding inspections to determine whether Baghdad was developing weapons of mass destruction. Iraq denies it has such weapons and has agreed to let U.N. arms inspectors back into the country after a four-year absence.

What will President Bush do if the U.N. is unable to agree upon a compromise resolution? Would an attack against Iraq advance the U.S.-led war on terrorism or distract from it?
