I think that was a throw away line. None of these leaders really expect the UN to be serious... I think its more in the nature of a last minute appeal to the French and the others to avoid wrecking the UN. More to the point, the UN looks finished unless the French have a deathbed conversion tomorrow which I don't expect unless Chiraq wants to do a humiliating climbdown from the corner he painted himself and his country into.

I sampled CNN for just a moment and instantly regretted it. A flustered Judy Woodruff--somehow both weepy and brassy--suggested that the twelve flags behind the leaders (the four flags repeated three times) had some great significance as a dishonest attempt to exaggerate the level of support the war might have in Europe.

CNN sucks.
