Courting the international vote.

Promises of economic sweeteners for "yes" votes.
Threats of economic punishment against "no" votes.

Isnt this just bribery & extortion pure & simple?

I voted 'no' because we're not quite at the
point where war needs to be declared.

Saddam has a clear option; one supported by
his Arab neighbors: Get out. Get out now.

Nobody likes you. Everybody figures your
Imperial adventures have been a total
bust and keeping those ambitions in check
has cost your people and others in your
area of the world dearly.
