Of course it was flawed, this was meant to counter the statement that Germany was the main culprit in WW1 and calling the Schlieffen plan as evidence for Germany's agressive plans.

Even before WW1 the german high command knew, due to germany's geographical location, a two fromt war was likely, had to be avoided and would be the worst case scenario.

Britain was brought into WW1 not because of this plan, but because of the treaties that existed at the time.

Yes it was the Main reason for the war entrie of the UK.
At the Treaty of London 1839 or 1893 (can't remember, sorry) the UK garanteed the neutrality of Belgium.
Part of the Schlieffen Plan was the way thru Belgium and therefore, the Schlieffen Plan forced the UK into the WW1.
