You're the one that brought up the "cease-fire" violations as a justification for the war. The no-fly zones are a big part of that.

Jeez. They had to do it. There it is, right under our noses all this time. They were LEGALLY REQUIRED to invade. If they didn't, someone woulda called a cop or sued them or something. Boy, I'm glad that's settled. Now we can all get back to hockey.

If we didn't, it would give Al Qaeda the opportunity to bomb us to hell because we don't have a backbone. Thank goodness we did not listen to you peaceniks, and we used force because it sets the right precedent. It shows we have guts in the face of terrorism.

The peaceniks can't say a ****ing thing. It isn't a bloodbath. You put a sock in it. If it was up to me, peaceniks would be in mental hospitals. those morons said it would be like Vietnam. Where are the heavy casualities? And I'm not minimizing anything right now.. but it isn't even close to Vietnam in the number of casualities proving peaceniks are brainless people.

That's the beauty of the UN. The great powers get to pick and choose to their hearts content and it is all perfectly legal. That's the way the UN has always worked and the is how it will always work.

There are a lot of countries that I couldn't care less about having WMD because I can't picture them selling them or handing them to any non state entity. This includes pretty much all of the declared nuclear powers including India and certainly Israel is a country that I would never expect to export it's WMD in any manner.


It would be a huge waste of resources to invade isreal to secure it's wmd. On the other hand if Iraq under saddam really had had WMD and if he had kicked out the inspectors again and if we had everything wrapped up in afghanistan certainly it would have made sense to invade Iraq to secure those WMD. Does anybody really think WMD would have been as safe in Saddam's hands as in isreals?


I don't see why governments can't pick and choose who they trust with WMD in the same way.

Actually, it depends on whether your a poor, melodromatic troll or a reasonable person who understands the likelihood that the Israelis will launch their nukes, or give them to people who will launch the nukes, compared to the likelihood that Saddam would do so.

So, the UN couldn't authorise a regime change in Pol Pot's Cambodia? How quaint. How... useless.

And people go on and on and onnnnn about how the UN, or the UN's rules, are the end of discussion. End of discussion in what rose coloured world?

The UN Charter is an international treaty dealing with international affairs. The treaty's ratifiers including the US didn't want the UN to have the power to meddle in intranational affairs.
