I find it galactically ironic that the UN is now claiming that the U.S. can't do anything in Iraq without Security Council approval because of resolutions that Iraq must abide by (the same resolutions that the UN turned a blind eye towards for years).
The UN could have laid claim to all of the power that the U.S. has invested in the freedom of the Iraqi people - a very valuable commodity that Bush, unselfishly, offered to GIVE the world body - but they said "no" (or, more precisely, "non").
Bottomline is that the UN, France, Germany and Russia can whine about not being involved - but they have only themseleves to blame.

Amen to that.
By the way, once we finish with the military aspect and Iraq is liberated, the sanctions will be done with.
The U.N. is free to enforce them if they can...
But they'd have to do business with the U.S. Navy first.
