When Mr. Blix has his own little country for which he is responsible then I'll listen to what Mr. Blix thinks is an appropriate response to a threat.
I think that the official policy of the US gov, before Bush, was regime change in Iraq, right? Mr. Bush promoted that policy with prejudice.

As usual, we cite these Clinton et al as if we are predicting that they would have unilaterally invaded Iraq and then acted to occupy it as an American province just like Bush did. Its a ridiculous assertion whose only purpose is to provide some kind of cover for the stupid mistake Bush made of doing just that. There are right ways and wrong ways to go about regime change. Acting in a way that caused the death of tens of thousands of innocent people, making us look like butchers in the process, was real intelligent.
