>>>Diplomatic shambles augurs badly for summit of last resort.

Maybe, just maybe, tomorrow's meeting of Tony Blair, George Bush and Jose Maria Aznar in the Azores will provide a formula to reconcile the seemingly irreconcilable on the United Nations Security Council. Maybe, it will come up with an extended deadline for Saddam Hussein that fits in with Mr Bush's military requirements and overcomes France's refusal to countenance "a philosophy of ultimatum" and insistence that inspections must be given a further chance to succeed.

The Azores, as the White House stresses, will not be a "war summit". It is not so much a last chance to prevent war as a last chance to preserve the impression, at least, that America will play by the international rules. <<<

If so, it should play by them.
