It would be preferable to have a new Security Council resolution authorizing military action against Saddam Hussein. But he is already in defiance of existing resolutions; Article 51 of the UN Charter provides the right to self-defence against the threat that he poses to all of us. Moreover, we all know that the Security Council, a political body, does not always provide an adequate defence against evil. The council refused to try to help Rwandans during the genocide of 1994. NATO's 1999 action in defence of Muslims in Kosovo was conducted without a council resolution -- because Russia and China would have vetoed it. Lest we forget. Good find, KLP.
