If China can be strong-armed into voting in favour, and this is possible, I believe that Russia will fall into line. Let France dangle out on its own.

"....But mainly, Russia does not want to be associated with US policy in the Muslim world."

Too late. The Russians are already a major target of the Islamists, and no attempt to distance themselves from us will make a bit of difference.

This sucks! I am tired of these cowardly countries. Why is Bush putting himself and us thru this? First Canada not sending any troops, then Mexico sucking up to Canada - now Russia and China. One day they are with us - the next day they are against us. Bush should tell them all to shove it where the sun don't shine!

I hate to be pessimistic, but wouldn't it be interesting if Bush just announced he was about to recall all US forces involved in UN/multilateral related activities tomorrow and said, "I've seen the ways of the anti-war protesters. The US is one big militaristic machine. From now on, we will be happy to watch the peace-loving countries of the world maintain international security."

I wonder who would be first to step up and enforce the no-fly zones, the DMZ, etc.

High Noon is one of my favorite movies. America is being treated like Gary Cooper's character, Will Kane. At least, Thank God, Great Britain is NOT Harvey Pell, the deputy that deserted his partner when times got hot.
Screw the commies.
God bless America.
Long Live the Queen.

p.s. Let's Roll!

Considering history, I won't be holding my breath on Russia coming along.

Russia and Saddam will be the biggest loosers in freeing the people of Iraq and they need lots of cold hard cash, and they are the one that Saddam owes the most.

[WOSG]

Replace the word "WAR" with the word "REGIME CHANGE" and the real meaning beomces clearer.

This is about those who want Saddam to stay and those who want him to go.
