>Either way the United Nations is a dead duck. If it challenges President Bush, he will go ahead anyway, effectively rendering the U.N. toothless. If it goes along with the President with only the proof offered to date then it proves itself to be a puppet of the U.S. Either way the U.S. get what it wants but the U.N. ceases to have meaning.

Why would Bush do it? One kid in a high school here said it quite plainly: "because they're sitting on our oil!".

Somehow, I never heard of USA being under any sanctions, nor threat thereof, for piling up the weapons of mass destruction.
