I don't think everybody is "blaming" the US. FWIW, I tend to agree with you that troops massed on the border is "helping" Iraq behave responsibly.

FWIW, New Zealand has a medical team and a communications team assisting the Arms Inspectors to the best of our ability. We want to see this solved and if it can be solved without war, surely we are all happier. You should be- a unilateral war will cement the image of the US as "the great Satan" in another generation of hatred, just what you need.

If we do support war I'd rather it was on the basis of full facts rather than snips which you will agree do not always carry all the detail. That we cannot find any sign of the declassified report that is making the US and UK keep their hands on holsters, is disappointing. Track record to date indicates that we need to read it ourselves.
