Bush's Second Push
The U.S. and Britain are set to present a new resolution to the United Nations declaring Iraq in violation of disarmament requirements, which would set the stage for war. Getting it approved by the 15-member Security Council is going to be a tough sell, because the resolution needs at least nine votes, and also avoid a veto by France, Russia or China. So far, President Bush and Tony Blair only have the support of Spain and Bulgaria, with all other council members pushing for more time for weapons inspections.

What do you think it would take for the majority of the international community to agree on war? Would prolonged stalling by Saddam Hussein be enough? Unaccountability for missing weapons? Outright hostility on Baghdad's part? Post your thoughts and let us know.
