It is about oil -for the French. That might well be the case. Still this does not yet make the case for war for Iraq. There are millions of us who own no oil fields in Iraq and still feel Bush jr. has not made his point for going to war this time around... and before you dismiss my comments as a dove, I supported action in Afghanistan and the previous gulf war.

The real issue is U.S. power By William Pfaff The International Herald Tribune Thursday, March 13, 2003 The Iraq debate PARIS - The door to war is not yet opened, but the unexpected has already struck. Donald Rumsfeld's announcement Tuesday that British forces might not take part in the initial intervention against Iraq suggests that Britain may be out of the coalition. . The reason is that the United States and Britain will almost certainly fail to get a Security Council resolution this week authorizing invasion of Iraq. Without that, if Tony Blair goes to war he could lose the prime ministership. Neither event was imaginable in Washington as recently as late February. . President George W. Bush finds himself in a huge international controversy that he thinks is about policy towards Iraq. Everyone else knows that it is about the Bush administration, and beyond that, about the future place of the United States in the international system. . Washington is unwillingly and uncomprehendingly grappling with the possibility that the United Nations is not irrelevant. Kofi Annan said on Monday that the United States really does need the legitimacy Security Council approval could provide. Without it, the United States may have to well and truly go it alone. . more at . iht.com
