I declare this thread full of preconceived notions and using little or no facts/news to justify viewpoints. Even if facts/stories were found, would they be found to make what you already "feel" is right proved or to objectively find out the truth?
To point out how futile this discussion has become I will use the following examples:

Of course he's going to be pissed off when he is shown for the impotent little weasels that he and his organization are. Of course he's going to whine like a baby when his puny little money-kingdom is overruled by countries who actually have the spine to stand up to insane dictatorships. "Illegal."

According to Hans Blix in his appearance on "The O"Reilly Factor" Hans stated: O'REILLY: But 17 violations doesn't sound like cooperation to me.
BLIX: Those 17 violations were before 1998. The entire transcript can be viewed
here (I hate the source on that but it is the accual transcript) I'll let you come to your own conclusion.

Democracy is tyranny of the majority. If you meant U.S.A. style that would be Constitutional Republic. As I've heard before in world government discussions "Think it's hard to have your voice heard in a country of 293,027,571 (July 2004 est. according to
CIA. World Fact Book ) ? How would your voice be heard in government of 6,379,157,361 ?"
