I think these articles are taking Bush Senior out of context. The text of his talk is linked here. Way I read it, he is actually saying that International differences that exist over this issue are likely to be easy to heal later on. Basically the opposite of the conclusion here. He is saying its ok to go forward without international unity.

However, I've been really busy and I didn't spend much time with it. Take a look and make up your own mind.
