While the White House is trumpeting greater international support for US action in Iraq, that's not really the case. The world, except for Blair's UK, oppose the US notion of "regime change". Nothing has changed in that regard.

However, in a bid to stave off military action, many in the world community are urging for the reintroduction of weapons inspectors into Iraq -- thus defusing one of Bush's strongest rationales for war (something the hardcore hawks, like Cheney and Perle, dread).
