That's because the UN can't do anything unless the US agrees to it. It's a great card to play, this "Power to Veto" lark.
If violating a UN resolution is a valid reason to invade a country, how many Americans would then object if the UN organised a coalition to invade the US?
By the way, anyone who tries to justify the war by telling us that Saddam was a nasty dictator is deluding no-one but themselves. And if they sincerely expect us to believe it, then they might as well call themselves hypocrites and be done with it.
