I watched Fouad Ajami on "Charlie Rose" last night, and he is getting pissed. His reaction is that going to the UN allowed the anti-war pressure to build up, which is costing us allies. He is right, of course. But if Bush had not gone to the UN, the screaming would have been even louder.

Yes, I saw the interview too. I don't think the screaming could possibly have been louder if Bush had not gone to the UN. Really loud screaming only happens when people think they can influence someone. And that fine old saying comes to mind "it's always easier to get forgiveness than permission..."

My conclusion? Boy, was Dick Cheney right. In spades. I wonder what Colin Powell's private view of the matter is now?
