So I may, I believe, presume you are ready before the fact to condemn a decision Bush may likely make, even if it falls within the realm of already predictable breaches on the part of Sad Damn. Sad Damn's reason for non-compliance may be that he wants war rather than capitulation. Dan B

If he has no reason not to comply, why has he not complied for the last 10 years? Your statement is non-sequitor. I would look for one of two scenario's where Saddam pretends to comply. First he lets inspectors in and then denies access to sites with weapons. Alternatively he plays a shell game and gets caught with weapons that he has not declared per the U.N. Resolution. Neither of which are trivial matters. Either of them would amount to material breach, as explicitly stated in the U.N. Resolution. This of course assumes he allows the inspectors in the first place, and this is not a certainty at this point in time. As of this writing the Iraqi parlament has voted to reject the resolution. I think it is all staged to make Saddam look like the peace broker. We shall see.
