I wonder what we had to give up to gain unanimity??

It can't be all good if France and Mexico voted for it.

No, this is more a matter of they quickly realized that:

1. Bush was NOT kidding about taking Saddam alone.

2. Even if some of them WANTED to do something about it, it would not work.

3. They realized they not only are dealing with a determined U.S., but a VERY POWERFUL, ANGRY, and DETERMINTED U.S. They're going to go along - because we're not in the mood to be ****ed with.
