well spoken response to this post. "Had the US practiced diplomacy instead of amateurish ranting then this crisis about Turkey would not have happened." notice how this is now the US fault. everything is our fault. I always felt the IVORY COAST debacle was a clear indication of France's impotence and incompetence until I heard that it is a common belief (on the street) that our CIA caused and perpetuates this crisis so we can embarrass the french.

1) No one said that resolution 1441 is a unilateral action by the US. 2)France, Germany, and Belgium have not refused to take the defense of a member nation into account. You have no proof for that statement. 3) You are correct when you state that the UN can not enforce its own resolutions. Witness the result of the resolutions about Israel(36 years). 4) All the European nations have a condition to their support and that is that the UN is behind any action taken against Iraq. Britain has wavered back and forth on that point as today's debate in the English parliament shows. 5)Lucky for the rest of world it is not you who has the final say as to the interpretation of 1441. 6)We are talking about non-compliance. And the non-compliance by Israel goes on and on and is not the subject of debate.
