WASHINGTON (March 6) - In a two-day diplomatic blitz, Secretary of State Colin Powell will try to overcome U.N. resistance to using force to disarm Iraq - warning that holding back would send a ``terrible message'' to tyrants everywhere.

He also warned again that if the U.N. Security Council does not act, the United States and its coalition partners are prepared to disarm Iraq by force and take responsibility for Iraq's future after a war.
