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

Joe, we've talked about this before. The UN approved the bombing of Bosnia but any attempts to get UN approval for the bombing Serbia were stopped by the Russia veto. However, the NATO alliance approved the bombing of Serbia because Milosevic was seen as a threat to all of Europe.

There is nothing analogous between what happened in Yugo. and Iraq. You are grasping at straws.
