If only to build public awareness of Saddam's recalcitrance, Blair backs a campaign to reinsert U.N. weapons inspectors kicked out in 1998. But unless they get free access to anywhere they want to go, Washington will almost certainly...
...fear being that their repeal would open the floodgates to demands for restitution. "Why should we single out the Benes Decrees?" Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kavan told Time. "They belong to the past and should stay in the past. Many current members of the E.U. had similar laws."
