THE day has been marked in President Bush's diary. January 27, 2003. The date when he will decide on war against Iraq.
But no one really believes that a big decision will be taken in the White House on that day. The die was cast long ago.
Mr Bush and the warmongers in his cabinet want a war against Saddam Hussein. They say they must stop him because he has weapons of mass destruction.
But only one leader has weapons of mass destruction and plans to use them. His name is George W Bush and it is he who must be stopped.
What he plans to do against Iraq will not save lives or make peace. It will destabilise the world and threaten thousands, possibly millions.
President Bush is determined to go to war to demonstrate to the United States' rednecks that he is committed to the war on terrorism launched after 9/11.
Yesterday the Americans declared that Iraq is in "material breach" - the key words - of United Nations resolutions.
Not even the British government went that far. Though Jack Straw came close to it and will doubtless take the short step to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Mr Bush.
But they must be stopped. Before this mad, dangerous war is begun. The cost in human life could be enormous. It would far outweigh the current threat from Saddam.
It is true that weapons of mass destruction should not be allowed in the wrong hands.
But they are. They are in President Bush's. That is the greatest threat facing the world
UN weapons inspector challenges US and UK
The UN chief weapons inspector has called on the US and British governments to provide his team with better intelligence on Iraq.
Hans Blix says the inspectors are not getting the support they need from the western powers in their mission to locate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
"If the UK and the US are convinced (that Iraq has weapons) and they say they have evidence, then one would expect that they would be able to tell us where this stuff is," he says.
