Al,

It is illegal to take military action against the UN charter. It is stupid and disingenous to go ask for its support while also calling the institution irrelevant.

Then, we are already in violation, since we attacked Yugoslavia without any form of UN approval. Attacking Iraq already has a vague UN endorsement, theoretically, we are much better off now than when we attacked Yugoslavia. Practically, Clinton knew that he couldn't get the UN support, so he acted by bypassing the UN, and he acted quickly. The current administration has made number of blunders in dealing with the UN, and is dragging this process out for way too long. The appearance is worse compared to Yugoslavia action, even though the facts are better.
