Excellent piece, thanks for posting it. It is easy, if painful, to see how the United Nations slid back into the fool's game of trying to find a smoking gun inside a totalitarian country such as Iraq. What is much harder to understand is why the Bush administration, which so clearly seemed to have understood that this was not a game that they wanted to play or could win, let itself be trapped like this. But trapped it is. Historians will puzzle over it. I think the answer lies in two names: Colin Powell and Tony Blair. I hope that Bush can extricate himself from the trap. But he must be resolute.
