I am sorry you missed that year. I followed it with great interest. Ceheney's travels comprised the openning gambit in announcing the "Bush Doctrine". Cheney travelled to our allies to prepare them for the change in policy. They did not take it well. Regime change by invasion was not a policy they could support simply because the US told them to do it. They would need more than that. They would need proof of an immediate threat. The only problem was, there was no immediate threat. WMD was the answer to a policy need -- we would pretend that there was an urgent WMD threat. That "threat" evolved last fall and winter. It was a sham. The allies balked. Now, unfortunately, the sham has become a little too obvious and there is fallout.
