Ted, First, you know I didn't write the article, right? I simply highlighted the parts I thought would be interesting to the thread. Yes, I was aware of that, and your did a good job. You may want to include the link next time, just to be fair to the authors of the article. I actually think he might end up agreeing to all of them. He's already agreed to 2 or 3 of them. I am guessing here, but I think that he may not get the chance. A new strategy has emerged to blame France for sabotaging the diplomatic process with their intransigence, to blame the failure of diplomacy on France, and proceed without a vote. You do understand that this mess was caused by Bush thinking that the rest of the world and the UN were not relevant to what he wanted to accomplish? Apparently, he really underestimated the reaction. Now he's made enemies where we should have friends. I would agree that this diplomatic game has been a failure. I wouldn't place 100% of the blame on Bush administration or Bush himself, but he gets a good percentage of the blame, IMO. Anyway, the fact that the diplomacy phase has turned into such a failure is a strong argument for closing this chapter as quickly as possible and move to the next phase. Hopefully March 18 it is. Joe
