Well said Sun!

And to the issue of Bush, Saddam, or both I would add that Saddam definitely fits the bill while Bush is only tilting a bit in that direction. But he hasn't crossed the line - yet.
...Which is why I am willing to support the Iraq war - with conditions.

But "the journey of a thousand leagues starts with the first step" - Sun Tzu - The Art of War.
...I don't want GWB to believe that his "moral imperative" allows him to control the agenda. Which is why it is important to me that the UN approves the action.

Worth noting - France has said that they would support military action if done so with a resolution that gives a concrete and reasonable deadline for the inspection process/disarmament.
...And today there are suggestions that Britain will support a short deadline for IRaq to prove that it has disarmed before hostilities start - story.news.yahoo.com

So it may yet be possible for me to have my cake (goodbye Saddam) and eat it too (GWB acts under UN auspices).
