A member of the press questioned President George W. Bush if Americans should be concerned about another war in Iran: “Well, first, Iran is different from Iraq — very different. The international community was convinced that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction — not just the United States, but the international community — and had passed some 16 resolutions. In other words, diplomacy had — they tried diplomacy over and over and over and over again. John was at the United Nations during this period. And finally, the world, in 1441 — U.N. Resolution 1441 — said, disclose, disarm, or face serious consequences. This was not a declaration by the United States of America, it was a declaration by the United Nations Security Council — and a 15-to-nothing vote, as I recall. And we took that resolution very seriously.”
