Those pre-written statements by the opposition, especially by the French representative, made them look like total idiots.
There's no change in my opinion; It's a cop-out, but I don't have enough experience to judge whether a preemptive strike is the wise thing to do. Regardless, Saddam needs to leave the country, start cooperating, or make a non-violent political stand against what he claims to perceive as an unacceptable violation of Iraq's sovereignity. The only person who can make that choice is he, and if he's going to cooperate, he'd better do it fast.
This is not a "SWAT is raiding your house, you should fight back to defend your castle" situation. This is a "SWAT is going to be at your door tomorrow at 10AM" situation. Unless you're extremely principled, this is the time to get out of dodge before the walls cave in. Whether the U.S. is right or wrong is irrelevant unless Saddam wants to make a philosophical statement about national sovereignity, in which case he should offer no resistance to an attack and a "war" would be over quite fast.
