it logically follows that the fault is Bush's for twisting the arms of all these lukewarm supporters just so he could counter the claims of unilateralism

It seems to me that the above statement is logical. Chilling, but logical.

I would counter by suggesting that it's really the fault of France for threatening to veto any UN resolution for the use of force against Iraq. Also logical.

But then, would it not also be true that it was all the UN's fault to begin with, for sanctioning Saddam, but failing to take decisive action?

Hitchens yesterday used the same logic you're using, only he was joking. He thought.

I can't tell whether you're joking, yourself, or serious, that the bombing in Spain is Bush's fault. I hope joking.

And if you are going to take that tack, we should have
just let OBL take over the UN, have every country on earth
join the UN & have OBL rule the earth.

Then no one would be at fault & apparently everyone would
be satisfied.

Give me a break.
