...rising tide does not lift all boats,” he said. “There is an under-utilization of minority and women-owned enterprises that [universities] do business with. They should be more reflective of all the diversity of the region...
...Bush administration officials believe a second Security Council resolution is not a necessary precondition for going to war, politically it remains extremely desirable. Washington's most committed allies in Europe - Britain's Tony Blair, Spain's Jose Maria Aznar and Italy's Silvio Berlusconi - are all swimming against the tide of domestic opinion in order to support Bush, and all have pressed for Washington to seek UN endorsement. Even in the U.S., opinion polls find that a majority of Americans would prefer UN endorsement for a war, and the number of registered voters telling pollsters they'd reelect President Bush...

Until now, Washington may have been hoping that the specter of the U.S. rendering the UN irrelevant by acting alone outside of a UN mandate might force the likes of France and Russia to reconsider. But the European antiwar camp appears to be more fearful of the UN becoming irrelevant if it simply rubber-stamps a U.S. policy...
