Hans Blix was on CBC this morning. A few notes from that:

--Though Iraq was cooperative on the surface, they were uncooperative on "substance."

--Blix noted that the buildup of COW forces (that's coalition of the willing) helped the inspectors.

Former UN S-C Boutros Boutros-Ghali was on CBC yesterday, and answered some questions from the press during a news conference. When asked about the legality of the war, he responded that we should wait and see how the forces are welcomed by the Iraqis, and that this war could be a positive thing if the troops are indeed welcomed.

And from the BBC: "Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov says he plans to approach the United Nations legal department and ask them to declare the war illegal."

Is that right? No problem...let's have them also investigate Chechnya.
