<And Bush only pursued that second resolution because he was pressured by Blair> Public opinion polls at the time showed that Americans would be supportive of US action but only in the context of the UN -- Bush had his own political hide to protect. As for Russia, they did not have to veto anything because there was no vote. Putin said he would support an invasion if there was any proof from inspectors of WMD -- and there was no proof so he did not support the invasion. Turned out he was wiser than Bush.
