Even according to the UN charter, every nation retains an absolute right to
self-defense. If we go into Iraq, it will be because we deem it a matter of vital
concern to our national interests.

That's a mighty broad definition of self defense. I don't think it's one the UN would accept. And I don't think it's one we would accept if, say, Pakistan used self-defense as an excuse to drop a nuke on New Delhi.
