Question. It appears that the inspection process made much more progress over the last few weeks that it has made in last 10 years (mostly since that for most of that time it was suspended due to Iraqi actions). It’s clear that the presence of 130,000 US troops on its doorstep and a willingness to use those troops made the difference in Iraqi attitudes. If that is what it takes to make Iraq comply, is the rest of the world ready to underwrite the costs of keeping them there indefinitely?? I don’t think so. [John Robb’s Radio Weblog]
