Walzer's argument is honest, and the exercise shows why he has so little company making it. Arguing containment can work means that there must be consistent international pressure on Saddam. Arguing that there must be consistent international pressure on Saddam has to acknowlege that there has been anything but, with no good ideas how to reverse the trend. Both Clinton and Powell (pre 9/11) tried going to the UN and arguing for a renewal of a 'smart sanctions' regime; what did it get them?

Glenn Reynolds comments on Walzer:

The trouble with multilateralism is that it requires other nations who are both morally responsible and militarily capable. There's a shortage of both.
