For me, diplomacy includes everything but war. That means weapons inspections are to be resumed. You said "until every diplomatic option had been tried". Inspections have been tried. Saddam wouldn't let them work for years. Excuse me but we are not talking about a walk in the park. Where I come from, you don't enter a war lightly. And I don't take it lightly either. But I also don't take the idea of Saddam getting a nuke lightly. If the US does not act decisivly then Saddam can continue to play games forever just like he has for the last 11 years. But I agree give inspections another chance, even if its only for political reasons, however the resolution should have authorized force if Saddam didn't comply. Otherwise it is just playing in to Saddam's hands. Tim
