From that article: The louder the US beats its drum, the easier it is for Iraq to play the role of innocent victim. Since George Bush came to power, statements from Washington have made clear that the real issue is not UN resolutions or weapons inspections but Saddam Hussein himself. The latest example came at the weekend when John Bolton, the under-secretary for arms control, said that the US "insists on regime change in Baghdad, and that policy will not be altered whether inspectors go in or not". It is meant to sound tough, but it is also stupid. The idea that the United States can overthrow any regime it does not like is liable to make people more fearful of the US than of Iraq. In the meantime, all Saddam has to do to win friends is keep his nose clean and sound amenable. Polls show most Americans oppose war against Iraq. Hopefully the "war momentum" can be stopped.
