Personally I think it's all about George W making himself feel better
about not being able to bomb the hell out of OBL.

As for Blair, it's just a case of mindless fundies of a feather
sticking together.

I am totally opposed to the war - but I think GWB will go it alone if
he doesn't pull the UN into line and Blair will slavishly follow.

I think N Korea is far more of a problem than Saddam myself. And
Mugabe. Leave Iraq alone long enough and someone will stick a knife in
Saddam's back without the trouble and expense of dropping bombs and
killing all sorts of innocent people. Don't think the same is true of
the other two.
