I believe the US behaviour in Iraq will encourage every country on planet earth to develop a nuclear weapon.
Saddam violated UN resolutions so the US decided to attack despite disapproval by the UN. In doing so, we are guilty of the same thing we are accusing Iraq of. During the first Gulf war the UN was very useful to us, they listened to our case for war and agreed to it. In that war like the present one, many of those claims are in dispute. Since they refused to go along with the war this time the UN has been accused of sex crimes, all sorts of corruption, and we have an ambassador who appears to have nothing but contempt for the institution. The crimes the UN is accused of are no different from the ones I read about taking place in this country every day. Why should we expect the UN to be any different? Could it be they were always a corrupt institution, but they were our institution?
I fail to understand the reasoning in any of this.
What in tarnation are you talking about? You fail to understand all of it because you're wrong in your analysis! The US doesn't need the approval of the UN to do diddly-squat. Saddam broke the GW ceasefire agreement, that in itself justifies this war. After violating 14 un res., colluding with terrorist, continually violating pacts. and the mere fact he gased his own people give us not only the RIGHT to go take his ass out, but an obligation.
We are NOT anything like the UN and for you to suggest such a thing is not only ludicrous, but stupidly asserted! Get back to your anti-American left/libertarian, and listen to err-america...it's where you'll find a home, not here!
