uh loquitor: these insurgents are living in a country under colonial occupation. what the fuck do you expect them to do?
i somehow expect that were you an iraqi under this occupation, you would be doing some actions on your own. i would. i think almost anyone would.
as for un approval: i think it would have made a huge difference--for example there might have been a plan b--there would have been far more attention paid to the post-invasion problems--there would have been nothing like the same meanings of occupation---but we'll never know, because i maintain, as i posted above, that alot of this was about the neocons wanting to effectively show the un that they were an obstacle to the assertions of american manliness in the form of unilateral colonial occupation.
