Speaking of Hesiod, he's got a great excerpt of an email conversation where he plays merry hell with SDB's choplogic and simultaneously outlines where exactly the administration is right now, how Powell and the military brass were likely instrumental in getting us here, and the price Bush (and Blair) would pay now for unilateral action. (Hesiod believes that if Iraq agrees to inspections and Bush invades anyway, Blair must break off or his government will fall, which is probably substantially true. That leaves the U.S. truly alone. Scary prospect.)
