is that he is against war under any circumstances short of an invasion of France/Belgium by Iraq and perhaps not even then.

Left to Raoul there would be no unpleasant inspections. Instead there would be endless diplomacy designed to outlive Saddam and any of his designated successors. Eventually mutual understanding would come even if it took a hundred or more years.

This diplomacy and search for mutual understanding might cost some middle eastern countries their soveriegnty and many might die but in any armed conflict with Iraq many would certainly die and the outcome might not be any better than the current situation.

This is my impression of the peace at any price philosophy. If I have incorrectly characterized Raoul as a disciple of this way of thinking, I apologize and I too would like to hear his alternatives and where he would draw the line.
