... and I must have missed the part of the US Constitution which gave the UN the right to authorize war.

And you missed the President's reasons for asking Congress to declare it against Iraq.

Last war Congress declared was against Japan and Germany. There was no decleration of war against Iraq - instead Congress authorized the president to use force if the President felt that Iraq did not comply with the UN resolutions on WMD inspections.

      Yes, I did.  Apparently Congress missed them too, since they did not declare it (war).
