Why are we a part of a socialist anti-American organization? And why do we keep propping it up?

I don't like the UN. But we are a member. Now we are viewed as a rogue member. I think pushing for more inspections would have been better until we got backing for military action.

We got backing for military action. Ever heard of resolution 1441?

Well, it was a razor-thin call on GWB's part, and he made the right decision--partly because he had a lot of G-2--and as we shall see soon, SH had lotsa WMD's that he buried.

Obviously, Hans Blix-Magoo was NEVER going to find them.

However, now we have a bigger mess: how to instill some commonly accepted law and enforcement system in Iraq, which is still quite tribal and NOT founded on the Judeao-Christian tradition. So where we have the advantage of 2000 years of accepted common laws, (plus or minus a few thousand years,) the Iraqis have almost zip, as the Code of Hammurabi has been inoperative since Mohammed was on the scene.

If you think being a cop in Ohio is tough....
