Azore's Summit Gives UN "One Day" To Come Up With a Resolution

The UN was given an ultimatum to come up with a resolution dealing with Saddam's violation of 1441 at the summit in the Azores. The message was clear that after that time Bush would be making his announcement of a war to liberate Iraq. It was clear from the tone of Bush and Blair that the chances of a diplomatic solution are remote. The meeting seems to have been called to put a formal end to UN dithering on the subject. The vision of states who have no interest or troops in the matter bargaining for their vote between the US and Iraq's representive on the counsel, France, was unseemly. To the extent the UN has been harmed by this episode it has been a self inflicted wound.
