Al, I have told you before...bush had a sure win with his tough approach to Iraq. He gave inspections real teeth for the first time in years. Yes, sanctions could have been gradually relaxed commensurate with increasingly intrusive inspections backed by the threat of force. That was largely the will of the UN majority.

Actually, I don't remember you telling me that before, especially the part about tying stronger inspections with laxer sanctions. Interesting solution, though I'd push harder to evict Saddam and Sons as war criminals.

I don't buy this was the "will of the U.N. majority," though. This was demonstrated by France and Russia's hypocrisy when it came to sanctions, and no amount of unilateralism on the part of Bush can excuse them.
