>>institutional inertia<<

That's really the root of the whole conflict, imo. If Saddam is somehow left in power, the real victor is institutional inertia. That's what the French and the UN are fighting to uphold.

paul.
I will follow your lead. I am fighting too much with the french and the old zealanders on this thread. Results will drive future attitudes. The pressure of the coming war is felt in the markets and i am sure the nervousness that i feel is felt by many supporters of bush policy. mike

Remember that any transformation in the internation diplomacy system will cost many in high positions their jobs. Naturally, they will resist and campaign to prevent the change.

Excellent point, Paul
