I doubt it too, in fact Blair is expected to make a speech today decrying Saddam for creating weapons of mass destruction etc.

But that's a red herring Mathias, Europe is supposed to be allied with the US - and Europe is nowhere near as united in it's condemnation of the possibility of military action against Iraq as it is in its condemnation of Sharon's strongarm approach. Furthermore it would be possible to sanction Israel without losing support from the americans - the same could not be said of attempting to use sanctions to deter Bush from his professed determination to unseat Saddam.
