Crean clarifies Labors stance on Iraq crisis
"HEATHER EWART: Now, in the briefings you've had in Canberra this week, do you get a sense that war is inevitable?
SIMON CREAN: No. I don't. And in fact to the contrary - that war can be avoided."

The US has been signalling for months and months that they are going to attack Iraq. With the deployment of forces and the President's committment, surely the attack is all but inevitable despite the growing worldwide opposition. Crean and Labor could take a tip from Germany's Gerhard Schroeder, who has said Germany will not participate in an attack on Iraq with or without a UN resolution.
