I don't think that it's even about Iraq anymore at the UN. It's about trans-Atlantic power struggles more and more it seems.

There definitely is that dimension. I don't think it is our main goal --- I think that's still Iraq and the instability in the M.E. and other parts of the world. France, Germany and Russia are playing it at the other level. Pull us down, and stick it to Britain (I think it was Mark Steyn who said that it was mostly about Blair). We know it, but can't articulate it without distracting us from what needs to be done.
There also is the dimension of what may be uncovered in Iraq. I don't completely disregard that as well.

Yes. You are exactly right. This is tied more into the World Trade Organization and globalization. Iraq is just a vehicle.
