#5  I would say it IS another feather in Condis cap, if it happens. Condi is a better Sec of State than Powell was, or then Rumsfeld was :)

#4  What this means is that the hsitory books will say that Condi Rice wiped the floor with Colin Powell. It might be worth living 40 more years just to see how much damage that guy really did.

#3  The lead nations of the EU, like ALL Great Powers, treat the UN purely pragmatically - to be used to achieve their national ends when possible. To be bypassed when THAT suits their national ends. They all were willing to act independently of the UN on Kosovo. SOME of them wouldnt act independently on Iraq, because support the US/UK on Iraq did NOT follow their national interests. Iran may well turn out to be a different matter.
