Seriously, if the US acquiesces to those in the UN who oppose action "at this time", and the inspectors are given as much time as those who propose more time want, shouldn't all the nations of the UN share the bill? Even the proposal offered this week for more time says military pressure is one of the keys, and it's certainly the most expensive key.

I know this is an unlikely scenario, but bear with me on it. Under that situation shouldn't those who have proposed more time be as financially responsible for the military pressure as the US. Shouldn't they also send troops?
Ronn, you can't have both the butter and the money to buy it !

You are asking for money to pay for something you decided to do on your own ?

Nah, nations should be asked to pay for what they decide to do, or for what the UN decides they must do - thus nations who ask for the continuation of inspections should pay for the inspection work. [img]smile.gif[/img]
