Well yes and no......
He has partially taken international terrorism to task.
But iraq didn't support international terrorism, so how do you explain that?
The Saudis do support international terrorism, it is the birth place of al-queada, Bin Ladden is from SA, 15 of 19 of the terrorists of 911 were from Saudi, etc, etc. Yet bush does nothing. How do you explain that?
The UN and the security council was in full support to root out terrorism in Afghanistan, etc. There are several nations helping out there. For example, Canada has 2,000 troops stationed in Khandahar. The UN did not support attacking Iraq because Iraq had attacked no other country. It's a hard sell to convince the UN that it should conquor a peaceful country. And before you crank it up telling me that saddam is a madman, know this, i agree, he was a murdering prick. But he had not attacked any other country. In 91, he attacked Kuwait and the UN responded very quickly to attack him. In other words, the UN worked.
