Understanding The Proper Use Of Force

Mark Eby — 4/9/2003 11:38:21 AM (archived)

Don't say you'll use it unless you will. France's refusal to let the security council even look like it would be willing to use force made it necessary when it might not have been. Saddam mistakenly looked at French, American, and World opinion and thought Bush was just bluffing.

Regards,
