key members of the Security Council disputed the legality of the no-fly zones

Well, this is a fine time to bring that up, isn't it? Wonder why they never expressed this "concern" before.

LK just announced that Al Gore will be his guest tomorrow night.

I think that should warrant a live thread, don't you?

To support a tin-pot dictator like Sadaam after he has broken UN resolutions 16 times is nuts. Sadaam attacked Kuwait in 1991, gassed the Kurds earlier and supports Terrorism worldwide. Any who believe that the U.S. does not have the moral high ground here are delusional. Make any excuse you want. We haven't targeted civilians in our own country like he has, We haven't attacked our defenseless neighbors like he has (And those who believe Sadaam had implicit or explicit approval, only are listening to what Sadaam says, which is foolish.), We haven't supported terrorism and purposely targeted civilians like he has. We haven't defied the UN like he has, the only thing the United States has ever done that is wrong is we have been the world's policeman and have done everyone else's dirty work for them. The rest of the world is either wanting peace at any cost, or they are on the side of Sadaam. Appeasement and Support of this ruthless and lawless state is insane. The U.S. has and will always have the moral high ground and cassus beli because of things that have happened in the past. We make the mistake of allowing some kind of moral equivilency into the argument and that is just insane.

They have. If you can name the alleged security council resolution that created or authorized them you'll be helping the Bush administration out.
