The massive protests against Iraqi liberation are having a good efffect. The Wasington Post reports that they’ve jazzed-up Saddam so much that he no longer feels he has to even pretend to cooperate with the inspections, and this new recalcitrance should make the final resolution easier to obtain:
Iraqi defiance on rise, say U.N. officials / Inspectors sense less cooperation in past few days
Baghdad — President Saddam Hussein’s government, apparently emboldened by anti- war sentiment at the Security Council and in worldwide street protests, has not followed through on its promises of increased cooperation with the U.N. arms inspectors in Iraq, the inspectors say.
Thanks to the hippies who made this possible.
