This dance is getting complicated here..
France..Russia..Germany..China are all calling for a non-agressive solution to Iraq.. without offering any really effective plans to that end.. The NATO alliance is beginning to crack, with France and the US trading veiled diplomatic insults.. and Germany stolid in it's opposition..
British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw today warned.. as we were sure someone would eventually.. that the road to appeasement dragged the world into WW2, saying the UN cannot follow the 'catastrophic precident' set by the League of Nations in the 1930's..
It's all academic at best.. when the US is ready to attack.. they'll be in there and on Hussein like white on rice, as they say..
