So far there has only been a division in words, not in deeds. All 15 members of the UN Security Council have passed UNSCR 1441. NATO has agreed to prepare planning for the defense of Turkey. And the EU, incl. France and Germany, has passed a common declaration today containing the sentence "Force should be used only as a last resort." I am waiting for the first pundit to recognize that this means Schroeder won't exclude an agreement to a second Iraq resolution anymore.

Yes, some harsh words have been exchanged. But it is like acquiring a real estate object or some other expensive item where some people try to get a better price by badmouthing the object. Ugly, but sometimes such a negotiation strategy works.
