The Iraq war, in conjunction with a lot of other things the administration has done, has convinced most of the rest of the world that America's unprecedented and unmatchable power can and will be relatively capriciously deployed in situations where almost nobody else thinks it should be.

To some extent, this was inevitable, once America began to do anything in the new, Post-Cold War world. It was made much worse by the rift at the UN, for which Saddam Hussein and his protectors France and Russia also deserve full credit. It takes two to tango.

You know, nobody better, how corrupt this international system that everybody pays such lip service to. The UN is bizarro world. Libya heads the Human Rights Committee. Syria sits on the UNSC. A UN anti-racism conference turns into an anti-Semitic hatefest, with full UN approval. The EU wages a proxy battle against the US by supporting Palestinian suicide bombers and putting its imprimatur on textbooks that call for a Jew-free Middle East.
