Al,

You said: "The time to have justified forceful intervention in Iraq on humanitarian grounds was indeed during the Iran war and directly after the 1991 gulf war" - we left the job unfinished according to many pundits around the world.

Perhaps you should pay more attention to your own words and as for the 80's - I'm not embarrassed at all, we were fighting what we thought was the greater evil.

As for "but generally speaking i think you know that we use the cover of the UN as conveniently as our need require it, to suit whatever political goal we happen to be pursuing..." same could be said of the Democratic attempts to manipulate the situation now for political purposes. It's called politics - if the UN was about solving issues or helping people they would have committed troops after the 91 gulf war themselves instead of waiting for the US to create a no fly zone.
