A post from December 2006:
In 1998, Pres. Clinton couldn't get the UN Security Council to take Iraq seriously. The UN treated him and the US with the same lack of seriousness that greeted Sec. Powell and Pres. Bush in 2003.
Pres. Clinton had one ally. His name was PM Tony Blair. It was US and UK planes that bombed Iraq.
Today, it is PM Blair who is willing to stand up and face the music. It'd be a lot easier for PM Blair to join the other Europeans and stick his head in the sand.
PM Blair is a good man and we are grateful for him at a time like this.
