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.

He said it at least three different times by my count.

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.

It was the will of the Sec. Council......China, Russia, France and Germany, the rotating member. And I believe it was the will of the General Assemby.

Why not? The world's superpower just decided that it would invade whatever country it deemed appropriate. If I were the leader of any other country in the world, I would be very nervous.

Do you honestly believe that the invasion of Iraq was a minor event in this world? As soon as the first US soldier set foot in Iraq, alliances shifted, new alliances formed, former enemies became friends, and OBL got a whole bunch of new recruits.
