When they decided to publicly state that there would be no war or stronger sanctions because they would veto anything that was put forward they guaranteed that Iraq would not give in and that we would be forced to enforce UN resolution on our own

oh yes, i remember that well.

and i felt it demonstrated the fallacy of having a permanent seat on the security <cough> council with one veto negating the others (or even the threat of a veto)

translating into the ultimate irrelevance of the UN when it comes to anything more than humanitarian aid (and as the oil for food program showed, a fair amount of fraud and abuse there too)
