Sorry, the UN doesn't install US puppet governments and force the locals to hand over industry to the companies of administration officials on no-bid contracts, though. You'll have to invade if you want that to happen.

17 resolutions disobeyed over the course of 10 years??? You guys hate the current administration so much that you willingly neglect the truth. Hell Bill Clinton went through the exact same dance. You guys forget so soon?
U.N. : "Saddam, we want you to disarm"
Saddam: "Whatever are you talking about???"
U.N. "We're sending in inspectors."
Saddam: "By all means!"
U.N.: "No weapons were found"
Clinton: "I'm not buying it, lets put the heat on" (throw in a defection or two, most noticeably Hussien Kamel to Jordan)
U.N.: "Wowsers we just found 18,000 liters of Anthrax!!!"
We know he had the programs running, we know he had the facilities running, no smoking gun doesn't mean that they didn't exist... get serious.
Although Rodgerd you bring up an excellent point about Pakistan, the U.S. doesn't realize the effect's of sleeping around with dirty countries. Pakistan (at least at some levels) is trying to cooperate, but they are alot like Afganistan 1) They have very little control over tribal areas 2) and the current regime/country is FILLED with the "Allah Ah Akbar kill America, Jihad is good!" types. Has it stands though we aren't supporting them too much which is pissing off Musharaff(sp?)... He politically stuck his neck out for us against a the widely popular Taliban and Al Qeade and we really haven't done dick for them yet (Things could change, I seem to remember reading in Time that him and Bush are to mee to discuss).

However, nuclear proliferation is inevitable so long as we have nuclear weapons and threaten to take out any country that attempts to gain a comparable military advantage. Until we get rid of ours all other nations will be raising to get them. Simply owning nukes doesn't make a nation an enemy nor do having a mostly arab populace. Our policies make enemies not weapons.

Thing about N. Korea is those fucks are publically saying insane shit like "we will burn the U.S. in a Holocaust of Nuclear Fire" or there public admittance that they would gladly sell nukes to people or places that hate us Americans.
I would also disagree that having an Arab and/or Muslim populace doesn't breed enemies. When you have the Wahabi's in Saudi Arabia, Shiite Radicals in Iran, Fundamentalists in Sudan and Nigeria, and crazy Asian's starting the whole Muslim theocratic thing now, something tells me it isn't by chance that the Muslim world is becoming such a world disease.
