I agree. I think putting out the word that the resolution might not be submitted was another Bush bluff.
The Angolas and Chiles of the world need the UN more than anyone and they are relishing their newly important roles. Thier participation in this debate is their long-awaited invitation to the world stage. Without the resolution, they suddenly could see all of the offered "carrots" for cooperation disappear, and all of the "sticks" begin to loom much larger.
Plus, without the vote, they wouldn't be in the limelight anymore and they would have to slither back under their African and Latin American rocks and to the obscurity where they belong -- without accomplishing a damned thing.
They want this vote almost as badly as Bush, and Bush knows it.
If we have 9 votes assured, here will be a vote.
