President to Accept Only 'Full Disarmament' by IraqBush willing to start war even without passage of a second U.N. resolution.
Woe to the UN and the international community if the US withdraws from world affairs just because the world bashes it. The French in particular have long counted on the US to make the world safe for French posturing. But other nations are guilty of it too, denouncing American imperialism but trusting that we'll keep the sea lanes open.
And a nasty question: How would the French be handling all this if on Semptember 11, 2001, the hijackers had chosen an Air France jet headed for Paris in place of one of the American Airlines planes? If it had been a British Airways flight, would Blair have stronger backing at home?
The TurkeyBlog would note that with his checks to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, we already have clearcut evidence that Saddam is sponsoring terrorism against one of our allies. That alone makes him vulnerable to US anti-terrorist doctrines, whether the whole UN charade about WMDs is operative or not.
