Does a set of non-rights become a right, if assembled in sufficient numbers? Why does the US have no right to occupy Iraq, but once mandated to do so by the UN, suddenly acquires a right it didn't have before? Beautiful response D...!!!! Beautiful!! And of course, he'll pull something out of his b*tt to justify the UN as having more moral authority despite the fact that it refused to enforce it's own binding resolutions with any threat of force against Iraq. So the UN has the "legitimacy" to overthrow brutal regimes, but lack the will or means to do so (because many UN members are these very regimes)... Yet, a UNSC member has no authority to enforce those binding resolutions when the UN refuses to do so?? That's like living in a town with a judge who loves to issue warrants and judgements from his court, but has no cops to enforce them.. And then compounds that problem by denying the right of "citizen's arrest" to those who live in that town.. Hawk
