Condemning Iraq

Iraq did its daily duty today, turning away a UN weapons-inspection team that included Amerians. Meanwhile, the US and Britain drafted a resolution that would condemn Iraq and ban some Iraqi officials from traveling abroad. Apparently the Western powers won't seek a declaration that Iraq is violating the Gulf War cease-fire, which would give them a pretext for military action. Russia and France oppose a strike on Iraq.
