CJ, > I do challenge the idea because they were trying to circumvent the treaty, that absolves Bush of responsibility in this.

They were indeed trying to circumvent the treaty. It's all about motive.

> But I do know that setting up a situation where they decided to call Bush's bluff and Bush backed down didn't do anything to defuse the situation. It made it worse.

True, if you're going to bluff, you should at least have some valuable cards in your hand.

But I get the impression that you think Bush should have folded from the beginning.
