Hi Bobert,

From one of your psots above you attribute the moderation in the language used in the draft resolution down entirely to the efforts of the anti-war movement?

Look back through some of mine Bobert - If there was one thing I have never doubted about this situation, it's been that all the TALK to date has been to ensure that the US Government can go into any discussions in a position to negotiate to get what it sees as being a workable solution. Weapons inspectors in, working to a new resolution that will deter any attempt at interference by the Iraqi authorities. So far your man has done a good job of getting a long way towards that goal. Following your advice and preferred course of action, Bobert, the Iraqi invitation to allow the return of the weapons inspectors would still be outstanding and the UN would still be sitting, "Thumbs in bums and minds in neutral".
