Well, I wouldn't say forgiveness. I'd say that the Bush/Blair War Project will simply yell bombs away, and not concern themselves with who will line up behind them after the smoke clears. Right now, most of the new eastern European NATO members are backing the Bush/Blair War Project, not the French, Germans, Russians, and Chinese leading the charge in the opposite direction.

What will be interesting is to see how countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia line up when the bombing begins. Which I think it will, no matter what anyone does. The Man Behind the Curtain won't be stopped, no matter who opposes the Great and Powerful Imperial Oz, that much is clear.
