Bush made it perfectly clear that if you are not with us you are against us at your peril. I have zero problem with that view point.

Yes, the "join us or die" philosophy has always boded well in history. What happens if Bush starts leaning on the UN if they don't agree with him going into Iraq? What if they tell him no and he goes anyways? What then? Does the UN try putting the US back in it's place? The US is the only country itching for this invasion. Others have said they'll back the US during the invasion but they still don't want to do it.
