-- as I have already posted, it was forbidden by the Security Council.

As I have already posted, the UN has no power to "forbid" any sovereign nation from defending itself, with or without the help of its allies, and defense need not stop at the aggressor's border. If you really knew anything about international law or the UN charter, you would know that. You are confusing a cease fire, which Kuwait would have been under no obligation to accept, with a UN mandate for Kuwait and its allies to stop fighting whether they wanted to or not.

Blah, blah, blah.

First we "stopped at the border" (pretty clear, especially since you made a federal case of me calling Schwarzkopf a liar for having "said" it!), but now we crossed the border (with tanks, troop divisions, artillery, Blackhawks, B52's, F-15's, F-16's, F-18's, F-117's, A-10's, cruise missles) but didn't invade! Are you a political science professor or an English professor, professor?

Forbidden! Jeez.

You don't even know what the UN does, and your here preaching.

I'm done.
