Old Europe could block Iraq attack

Stationing UN peacekeepers in Iraq could force Blair & Bush to choose: kill Europeans or pursue the inspections.
A plan to put peacekeepers in Iraq offers the possibility of "Old Europe" forcing Bush to bomb UN troops, as well as civilian shield volunteers, if he insists on implementing the "Shock and Awe" 48 hour, overwhelming devastation, bombs and missile campaign!
Would Blair go along with such a crazy idea?
In Berlin, a German government official said his country is working with France on ``specific peaceful alternatives to a military solution.'' The German magazine Der Spiegel reported that the French-German plan includes placing U.N. troops across Iraq, conducting reconnaissance flights over the country and tripling the number of U.N. weapons inspectors.

And Saddam Hussein will gleefully surrender to the authority of the U.N. peacekeepers, thereby avoiding any fighting, right?
George Bush may be a moron; but so are Chirac and Shroeder if they believe that's going to happen. Unbelievable.

Anything that delays them is positive.

If we are concerned about anyone being a danger to the world we should look at Bush and Sharon. Two imbalance warmongers with a pile of nukes and with a delivery system.
