The main reason we went to Iraq is Iraq refused for 12 years to meet UN
resolutions.

Oh? I thot Bush had promised his Religo-nazi friends from the xian right
that he would distance us from the UN. Does this mean he's really a closet
pinko, taking orders from the UN? Does he ever wear a tu tu?


Did we not vote on those resolutions also? Did we not also play a part in
defining those resolutions? It has nothing to do with taking orders from the
UN. It is about the safety of the US and its citizens. The UN is the UN and
it looks out for its own interests and the interests of its friends (which
is a relative thing). The US must take care of the US, because no one else
will.


And no one put the US in sole charge of monitoring compliance with UN
resolutions or in determining how and when to unilaterally "enforce"
them. The UN chose not to go along with our little adventure for a
reason. They clearly didn't see the facts the same way that the
Bush/Cheney administration was spinning them. Funny thing about
that...the US was wrong and the rest of the world was right. Oops.
