Already the talk of war crimes against the Us is being raised at the UN and there is some rumour toward suggesting the expulsion of the US from the UN. The fact remains, and this was iterated by the Russian Ambassador, the war in Iraq is illegal under the UN, and also by Syria. Problems too with the Saudis.

Given the nature of your recently-posted links, I suppose that pleases you somewhat, eh? Politics before the lives of our young men.

I wouldn't be surprised at ANYTHING the UN does from this point forward, considering it's been proven about as effective as its predecessor, the League of Nations. For all practical purposes, it's finished as a representative body. Populated largely by third-world, tinpot dictatorships (or at least one-party states) mostly interested in how much cash they can defraud or humble the West into paying, they must be slavering at the jaws at the thought of how they can boot the 'big bad USA' in the ass.
Too bad they never had a thought about Cambodia, or Somalia, or Ruwanda... or for that matter, Kosovo, Tibet or Chechnia, or a dozen other places in the world where far worse has happened. They have a habit of ignoring that which doesn't pay, and turning a blind eye to a hundred military operations which various "members" of this august body have initiated without their "consent".
The double standards are sickening, and paint a true picture of the modern-day effectiveness of the UN. Let them condemn the US... let them condemn Great Britain... let them condemn the 30 or more other countries which have stood up in public to support this action. NO ONE CARES ANYMORE. Let THEM find a new headquarters from which to spew their petty, patronizing bull.
Ferchrissakes, even FRANCE has now done a '180', to suggest that 'if WMD comes down, they're all of a sudden on our side and want in'. It's pathetic, and I feel pathetically sorry for anyone in the West who buys into this unmitigated, immoral political posturing.
I hope the UN DOES "condemn" the US... THAT will put paid to what is now an international joke. Certainly, Jean Chretien has forever humiliated Canada with HIS stand on this... I cannot believe he's done what he's done in forceably keeping our people out of it.
Now that IS humiliating, given our history od standing with our friends and allies.
In the meantime, screw the politics of the thing... 'our' young men are about to launch. The time is now to stand by them, as our grandafthers stood by our fathers. Save your rhetoric for the after-action report. Look ahead, not backwards.
Oh, BTW? Saudi Arabia? You mean that 14th century feudal society which is now getting mighty nervous because we've finally figured "it" out? Oh yeah, they're CERTAINLY a guiding influence...

ROLL ON THE PEACE. And welcome to a new world order.
