If it hadn't been for 911, we would have tried to get out of it. But the world wants us to do it, and they want to set around and bitch about it.

I just saw Ken Pollack on Charlie Rose (from Friday in the US). He said that a French diplomat, in a heated moment, blurted out that France didn't care about Iraq because when the time came they know they US will do the job. The current UNSC debate has nothing to do with Iraq, simply a few countries using the moment to accomplish other goals since they know the US will clean up the mess anyway. Later Pollack was critical of the Bush hawks who don't trust the UN but he never reconciled these two statements.

I don't have any problem with influencing the entire world and introducing them to the opportunities we share in our country. However, there are roughly 300 million of us and 6 billion of them. We don't have a bomb for each of them.

If we cannot bomb them into enlightenment, is there another way?
