Since the U.S. achieved total military dominance over the Iraqi forces and now plays a leading role in the U.N., the conditions for enforcing U.N. prohibitions on armaments are optimal. President Bush developed a coherent military strategy and political coalition to defeat the aggression of Saddam Hussein . Now , after a brilliant military victory , the United Nations is committed to implementing policies to destroy all of Iraq chemical and biological weapons and munitions . Although professing good will , indications are that Saddam will attempt to obstruct these efforts . His acts of cruelty toward neighbors show that he is not trustworthy . Will the U.N. and President Bush hold firm in their resolve to force peace on a deceitful Saddam ? If not , how can we ever hope to promote and achieve a settlement to the Arab - Israeli conflict ?
