contravention of a Security Council vote?

You believe the UN should be able to control what we do. To be precise, you seem to believe we should not do anything without France's permission. Why should we allow a two-bit Euro country, that should never have been a Permanent Security Council member in the first place, (Canada had a much better claim to the seat,) tell us what to do? Why? When did we turn over our Government to the UN? In any case, you know that is not going to stop us.

Bush still has to make a convincing case to the American public

Why am I not surprised at this statement? I knew it was going to be your reaction. Nothing will ever convince you that we should invade, I guess. I said in the post you are answering that no opinions here have been changed.

3. The Bush administration has to level with the American public as to the costs of an invasion

Nobody knows, John. Nobody knows. That's the "Fog of War."

jeapordy in which the Bush administration puts the US if it goes to war without deep and wide UNSC support,

France will be the only "major" one, in all probability. And I know you refuse to acknowledge that this UNSC support really does not amount to much if they don't go along. They will have cut their throats if they don't get aboard the bandwagon.

I think it behooves us all to stay open minded and to respect one anothers views.

I think most of us are open minded around the edges, John. I don't expect anyone to change their core beliefs.

To sum the situation up, Powell just drove a stake through Saddams Heart. We will warm up the tanks in about two weeks, IMO.
