You are implying that American military will plant WMD evidence

Good. Then you understand why I feel your response about Res 1441 is irrelevant.

Saddam has made a mockery of the Security Council.

No. The US made a mockery of the Security Council by calling it "irrelevant" unless it votes the way US wants it to.

How many more "this the last time, I really, really mean it this time" resolutions was the UN going to spit out.

UN does not enforce its Sec Council resolutions by force. Just ask Israel & Turkey (US allies), who are continuing to happily ignore quite a few resolutions themselves.

US is playing vigilante here, taking the law in its hands. It is the UN Sec Council who has issued the Res 1441 you are so enamoured with, and only the UN Sec Council can decide on the measures to be taken if they are not respected. Not the US.

Don't agree if you don't want to, but this is the legal framework.
