So you believe that the US is permitted to change the rules as it goes along. Do you think other nations should share in that feature? Think about what you're suggesting. We enter into a UN-sanctioned ceasefire with Iraq. Iraq violates the terms of the ceasefire. Now, you think that somehow we're BOUND by it? This is utter nonsense. It is essential for any sovereign nation to be able to continously (daily or more frequently, if necessary) reevaluate its national security threat and adjust policy accordingly. I would expect that most nations would do precisely the same thing. We aren't limited into perpetuity to dealing with Iraq through the UN. After ten years, the beligerance persists; we may well need to solve the problem. If the UN wants to play a role, fine -- if they give us any crap, we'll just have to do whatever is necessary. This all seems so clear and simple to me; I can't imagine why you're having trouble with it.
