There are many choices available to us at this point. If I were writing to my foreign office, I would want them to do all things which encourage the rule of international law to flourish. I would urge my leader to be firm in the face of any pressure, and to go into Iraq only with the UN. Even with the UN there it is still possible to screw the whole thing up, but the best chance for the rule of international law, AND for Iraq, lies in the world stepping up to the plate in Iraq only after the US makes some sort of concession that what it has done was wrong. imo

I think the worst thing that could be done is to reward the actions of the US. Any aid given to the US at this time, by countries who opposed the invasion in good conscience, should be coupled with some measure of instruction- or, as you say, aid will simply be a reward for bad behavior- something I have never believed in.
