K-Lo: I would be very glad to be proved wrong on this one. I just don’t

see any escape from the logic. (1) The U.S. (and, I feel absolutely

certain, Britain) will not go without UN approval, in the form of a Security

Council resolution. (2) The Security Council is not going to approve such a

resolution. On (1): if GWB is willing to go to war without UN approval,

why didn’t he do so yesterday? or last month? or a year ago? On (2):

here is a list of the members of the Security Council: USA, UK, Russia,

China, France, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria, Chile, Pakistan, Mexico, Guinea,

Syria, Angola, Cameroon. I rest my case.
