My bet is:

No!

Welcome to the internationally broadly supported "preventive" war

Chomsky on imperial instruction

[Chris Burford]

There is good reason to believe that the war with Iraq is intended, in 
part, to teach the world some lessons about what lies ahead when the 
empire decides to strike a blow

And to teach the rest of the imperialist world, that it must accommodate to 
enormous preponderance of US power. Can France afford to isolate itself by 
the threat of a futile veto in the Security Council? That is the only 
question left now before the start of war if we are to read the messages 
the Bush administration appears to wish to send.
