More than 70 anti-Saddam grouplets sit around plotting in coffee shops from London to Amman. They cover every shade of opinion and ethnic coloration, including Islamists with Shi'ite and Sunni subdivisions, Kurd separatists, Arab nationalists, communists and liberal democrats. Their only common goal is to depose Saddam, but after that come conflicting agendas. The most robust of the groups, at least in p.r. terms, is Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress. The I.N.C. once united nearly two-dozen factions and earned support from Washington, but it has fallen on hard times. Internal feuds and well-publicized failures have melted...

...Middle East. After Israel attacked southern Lebanon last April, Secretary of State Warren Christopher was irked to see French Foreign Minister Herve de Charette embark on his own peace shuttle. Then, in September, when Clinton launched missiles south of Baghdad after Iraq violated the Kurd's northern haven, the French pointedly refused to patrol an expanded no-fly zone in southern Iraq and recently pulled out altogether from surveillance flights over the north. Chirac seriously annoyed the U.S. again in October with a high-profile Middle East tour to seek a role in the peace process presided over by Washington...

...Americans this is the war that really counts, and Clinton was expected to react with firm skill. Despite his preoccupation with politics, the President ordered his foreign policy aides to get cracking on diplomacy to cool off the Kurds. As Iraqi forces moved north, Clinton fired off a strong warning to Saddam that military intervention in Kurd affairs was "not an action he could take without paying a price." To no avail. On the eve of the Iraqi attack, the Administration was issuing public denunciations of Saddam, and by the time his troops reached Erbil the next day the President...
