The very concept of an "illegal war" requires us to surrender our sovereignty.

Which is why it was foolish for France and Russia to seek to have the UNSC be the organization that directed war be waged against Iraq..

As I've OFTEN repeated, even in UNSC 678 they did not mandate that military action be the means by which its binding resolutions were enforced.. They merely lifted the prohibitions against using military force by authorizing "all means".

And while France might want the UNSC to become sovereign over its government, most Americans would rather not have Kofi Annan dictating when and where US forces should be deployed.
