Runes,

When I heard about the possibility of a new compromise U.N. resolution, I was encouraged, but then I got thinking how they could possibly word it and my hope disappeared.

What will be the trigger for war? Saddam doesn't even admit to owning weapons of mass destruction so how can we make a trigger that he won't destroy them? You can't have "cooperation" as a trigger because it isn't concrete. France may say in 3 months that Iraq is cooperating and the U.S. may say they aren't. So, I have to conclude there is no way a resolution can be worded to satisfy all members of the council.
