Hi kumar_rangan; Re: "All thats needed is UNSC to say "yes its material breach"."

I agree with you here, but the logic is inescapable. If such a resolution passed, the US would have an excuse for war. Therefore, since most of the members of the UNSC want more inspections and are at least as good at logic as I am, I don't think that they will pass any such resolution.

>Respectfully disagree. 1441 lays out the terms of material breach. Iraq is now in material breach. All thats needed is UNSC to say "yes its material breach". If/when thats done, 1441 says serious consequences will follow. In my mind, "serious consequences = military action".>

What if UN does not conclude "Material Breach", and US attacks Iraq, would US be in breach of some UN Law?
