right. we might have known but thanks to the cowboy mentality of the bush administration the united states was and is not in a position to go it alone either militarily or politically. the bullshit critiques of the un advanced by the project for a new american century crowd hold no water---but resemble your position.
it was the americans more than anyone else whose position accounts for it taking this long to get the security council to act.
by-passing the un in order to act in the name of legality on another country is a non-starter.
but you can thank the republicans for making absolutely sure that is the case.
