Exactly. <waiting for the US to provide proof positive (as do I).> Prove it. Put the inspectors right on it. THAT should be easy to do given the spy sattelites, the supposed "proof" presented today, and the unrefutable "evidence" that Bush says he has. Prove it. Use the vaunted Intelligence network the US has to do something tangible. Prove it beyond a shadow of doubt. Produce some physical evidence. Some tangible physical evidence. Not a photograph and hear-say recordings. Then and only then, should war be an answer.

Your point is that the UN has put the burden of proof on Iraq and they are failing to meet that. Pretty much. Putting all political differences aside, it's really fascinating what took place at the U.N. They passed this resolution unanimously. Why? I'm sure that France, Syria and others all felt that this would make them look good by opposing Saddam. They surely felt that there would need to be a further resolution to start the war which allowed them a future way out. They wanted it both ways. A pox on them. The U.S. deceived the rest to get their vote, probably hinting that there would need to be a further vote. This was disingenuous and dishonest. They got what they wanted and now claim they need nothing further. None are blameless.
