that this administration has blown 50 years of respect for the U.S. with their complete lack of diplomacy in their handling of Iraq What we are suffering from at the UN is clearly not a "lack" of diplomacy; an excess of diplomacy might be a better name for it. It would have been far better for us, and paradoxically, caused far less upset in the world, if we had acted unilaterally. Remember the old saying, "It's always easier to get forgiveness than permission"? It works for countries too. We are also suffering from the perfidy of so-called allies, who have used this chance to try to create an anti-American bloc. This clearly took the administration - and Colin Powell - by surprise.
