as said many times before the UN hadn't given the green light for this war.
as said before the UN does nothing while their rules are broken.
UN does nothing where? UN does nothing while the US breaks the rules, or when IRAQ breaks the rules?
the UN passed the toughest economic and military sanctions ever seen in the history of the world against Iraq. Inspections have resulted in the estimated destruction of over 90% of Iraq's long range and WMD capabilities (based on the reports of the UN weapon inspections team - I can find the link to the published reports, if you wish). the US has not publically published or related ANY direct evidence to the contrary (if you think otherwise - show me where i can see this evidence for myself). Besides that, the UN has very well established rules on when force can be used to resolve disputes, and Iraq had not yet reached the point where they the use of force against them could be legally authorized based on those rules.
I have no love for Hussein, or any tyranical dictator, for that matter. But what is at stake here is the very rule of law itself. Would you say in your own country that you could violate your own laws at any time just because they incovenience you, or you don't agree with them?
the real question is, will the UN now begin drafting resolutions imposing sanctions against the US for breaking the rules?
The bigger question is: with the direction the US is currently going in policy-wise, what will arise to balance against US interests? If you aren't going to support the UN, what are you going to support? terrorism?
