you can over-grey the world too. Thats what Zonder has done.

Could you explain that?

Do you mean I understand both sides too well to be able to stand up for either?

Will anyone on the anti bush side find it possible to admit that what he has done is brilliant if saddam actually gives up most or all the weapons without war?

I, for one, will be quite happy with that outcome, and if (and that's a big "IF") the Bush administration does not press further and go to war anyway in a blatant attempt to seize the oil fields (or something), then I will be the first to congratulate him.

However, I doubt if this will be the case. My understanding of the situation is that there is a very strong and thinly veiled oil concern behind this whole pissing contest. The inspectors found nothing yet. Still, Bush says "signs are not encouraging" for who knows which reason:

I have a funny feeling that they will cook up an excuse to invade Iraq anyway, even if there is no sign of WMDs. I will be very interested to hear how they will justify this unprovoked attack on another sovereign country, then.

(No, firing a few crackers at a few planes flying over their own soil is NOT a provocation.)
