“The United Nations, too, declined to sanction the campaign to change the regime in Iraq.”

We were in Irag because of the UN.

The left eventually came up with a pejorative to describe the countries that joined the USA to oust Saddam:

THE COALITION OF THE W BILLING

'We were in Irag because of the UN.'

Thus, part of the problem.

I remember a certain pedophile UN inspector that was most likely being blackmailed.

This is why Bush II is responsible. Bush,the Elder, was able to unite the arab countries to oust Saddam from Kuwait. When 9/11 came there was an acceptance in the arab countries that the US would go after the perpetrators. Instead Bush attacked Iraq who was not involved with 9/11. This was interpreted as an attack on arab countries. Whatever stability there was in the region was broken. The US was the enemy. All sorts of groups keep getting spawned. There is no friends in sight. The groupings of Bush, the elder, have disintegrated. Who can put the toothpaste back in the tube?
