Some good thinking, though extreme, IMO: But by asking for world opinion and then ignoring it, U.S. diplomatic credibility will unquestionably be diminished. We didn't ask for world opinion. We told them straight up that we are determined to take on Iraq alone if it came to that. We asked the UN to follow thru and finally put resolve in their resolutions because Iraq is a direct threat to the US now. If it takes a threat to the US to get the UN off the dime, then so be it. arizonarepublic.com

CAIRO, Feb. 20 -- In a spacious fifth-floor conference room at Egypt's leading think tank, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States delivered a message that surprised some of Cairo's most prominent intellectuals and analysts. The ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, said Arabs would blunder by actively backing French and German efforts to forestall a war against Iraq, according to two participants in Sunday's three-hour, off-the-record talk. The Bush administration's contentions that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction and has cultivated links with al Qaeda have substance, they recalled him saying, and Arabs should acknowledge that war is inevitable and begin jockeying for a role in shaping postwar Iraq. washingtonpost.com
