Zonder, I think a lot of us are not that far from you philisophically. The difference is in definition. As an example you do agree that a military solution might be necessary - you just prefer that it be put off until all other measures are exhausted. Unfortunately, the last 11 years of observing the Iraqi regime has given me the opinion that they will only negotiate in good faith when presented with a military response. When 'push comes to shove' as we say here, I think Saddam will back down and truly unfettered inspections will occur, but nothing less than an imminent invasion will or would have brought him to the negotiating table. He will (hopefully) accept a life that is less grand than he had hoped and we will have to live with him still in power (and the consequences to his people). John
