Two terrific quotes, Steven.

We are arguing, in essence, that we want to go to war not because we are threatened, but because we think we might be in the future. This justification is widely perceived as inadequate. It is not the responsibility of the UN to accept our arguments simply because we are the ones making them. It is our responsibility to convince the community of nations that the action we seek is necessary.

Some Americans claim that if the UN fails to sanction a war on Iraq it will effectively be pronouncing its own inutility. The opposite is actually the case: if the UN sanctions a war that most of its members think unnecessary simply because the US desires it, it might as well disband and declare the world an American colony.
