So what if those members of the Coalition of the Willing go along with our 'unilateral'war. Who's the World Court goning to send to arrest them? France?

Good point.

Actually, I'm hoping that all this ends up dismantling or neutering the powers of the U.N. and the I.C.C. We've done it before with the League of Nations and the hemispheric organizations and courts so it's not without precedent. Some of those institutions we were members of and destroyed them from inside.

Unfortunately, I'm don't think Powell is trying to do that. Hopefully, Cheney and Rumsfeld will get W. to do the right thing: spay and neuter the U.N. and the I.C.C.

Again, if this entire diplomatic process fails, it really doesn't matter. What matters is the US and our constitution. We don't need the UN or anyone else to determine the fate of our country. If the US fails, we fail because we weren't meant to be a country, the 200 year experiment will have failed. But do you really believe in your heart we will? There are at least 100 million people who will die for our country instead of being forced to pray to the east or wear burqas (OK I made that stat up, but I'll bet I'm not too far off). Free people have a passion, an aura, for a country that enables them to live. A country that oppresses it's citizens is a failure. When was the last time you heard of the people uprising for But, I doubt it. God has blessed this nation. We have a force more powerful than any weapon, and we will prevail!
