If the U.N doesn't agree, then we can't "act" because that'd be "wrong". So essentially they want to give up our ability to act in self defense of ourself, based on OUR intelligence and OUR reasonings behind a country's efforts against us, and soley rely on asking the world body to decide what *we* should do.
I'm sorry, the U.N is good for promoting peace and dialog through countries that would otherwise not have that dialog, but it should not be looked at as an "OK go ahead" or "Do not go ahead" for our country defending itself.
These kinds of ignorant statements are EXACTLY why the war hawks will never understand the objection to our country being in Iraq. Are you really so naive as to suggest that we who object to the Iraq war do so just because the UN didn't give the go ahead?
We weren't attacked! We weren't going to be attacked! There is no evidence that Iraq even had the capability to do what our government claimed they were going to do! There is no evidence that Iraq had any formal ties with al Qaeda! Our government asserted that because Saddam did not account for weapons he had at some point in the past, that he still had them!
This has all been covered before, and you can take your incessant right wing posturing the hell out of my thread.
