"The Bush administration has made mistakes, but it's an illusion to think that a different style, or a different president, would have averted the current U.N. disaster. Bush conducted no "rush to war." He was asked to go to Congress and to the United Nations, and he did. Getting the U.N. Security Council to pass Resolution 1441 last November was considered a political triumph. It called for Iraq to disarm immediately and completely."

In this paragraph lies the real answer. Bush's problem was not that he rushed. His problem was that he was unable to sway a large number of nations to do the right thing. While holding the moral high ground, he still lost, and to the arrogant French, to boot.

The past months have shown that the Bush administration is entirely unable to conduct itself successfully in international diplomacy.
