What was that about the UN becoming irrelevant?

That socialist European nations such as France and Germany are not really allies or friends of the United States.

Right now, I consider it icing on the cake from the war. But in the long run, I believe that the discrediting of the UN will be the true legacy of this conflict. And it's about time it happened!

No, I see something else. Libertarians and paleo-cons, for ideological opposite reasons, have argued against NAFTA, GATT and the IMF setting monetary and ecomoic policy around the world with the US have marginal input.

Maybe, folks will take a second look at the fallacy of internationalism.

...The administration deserves some credit for asserting that we will go to war unilaterally if necessary, without UN authorization. But it sends a mixed message by doing everything it can to obtain such authorization...

I agree. But, by the same token, by forcing the UN into inaction, we have established its irrelevance. In its current form and structure the UN is inherently unable to fulfill its role. The majority of its state members are dictatorial regimes which cannot claim to represent their people. Those gangs of dictators cannot be allowed to influence global affairs.

The fact that Libya is now in charge of the UN's human rights effort speaks for itself.

Should the United Nations have the final say in whether United States goes to war against another country?

 And what if the UN says the United States must go to war?

For some reason, any time I hear the name Ron Paul, it flashes through my mind that he's a porn star.

What if the UN wants to go to war against the US?

Paul and the UN have a lot in common -- they are both irrelevant.
