He made the deal harder. This observation holds only if both parties are willing to "deal." I don't think Bush views it this way. There is only one deal...regime change...as your daddy used to say, the easy way, or the hard way, voluntarily or by force. Saddam may realize Bush's position leaves him only running room. His alternatives are three...leave, resist, or buy time, but he may think (this weekend) that he has a fourth...let the world talk Bush out of it so he can stay. In other words, Bush is not trying to make is harder for Saddam to deal, he's making it impossible. Well and good, IMO. Incidentally, most of the kids in the playground will give the bully their lunch money, until some one or more of them decides to face him down. BTW, I learned that in kindergarten. Chaz
