Title: FW: Today's Papers: Iraqnophobia

Right. So why do many leftists seem to take the position that if the UN authorised

an attack on Iraq it would be OK? Few commentators--except Fiske- note that Israel has ignored UN resolutions for ages and no one threatens to invade them. Also, they have nuclear weapons and who know what else.

according to SLATE:>The Los Angeles Times [Sept. 13, 2002] fronts a good piece on the backroom deals and brokering that will likely go on during U.N. negotiations. According to the paper, the  administration expects to hand over lots of cash, weapons and favors in its attempts to recruit countries into the anti-Hussein campaign. The biggest focus is expected to be on the needs of Russia, China and France--three prominent members of the Security Council who have balked at action against Iraq. <
