Saddam Hussein must go and that is the bottom line. However, we must work harder to convince and persuade the Americans in regard to how this should happen. That is even more important than the simple fact that it must happen. They might not want to hear that message, but that does not reduce our obligation in that regard. If it puts strains on the relationship and friendship which binds America to Ireland, then so be it. It is essential that we act through the United Nations. We must convince the Americans that this is the only way to proceed.
