Overwhelming International Pressure

I just heard a CNN anchor indicate that an upcoming segment would be about the “overwhelming international pressure” to disarm that Saddam Hussein faces.

Funny!

It has been proved again and again that the only time Saddam feels “pressure” is when he is threatened with force. Before the United States renewed its commitment to disarm him in the wake of September 11, he was under no pressure whatsoever to disarm. The pressure he feels now comes from exactly two countries: the US and the UK.

I would hardly call that “overwhelming international pressure.”
