The UN put explicit limits on what we could or could not do in Iraq. We chose to act under the authority of the UN and we chose to respect the limits imposed upon the US by the UN. If we invaded Iraq to implement regime change then we would no longer be acting under the authority of the UN. We would be acting unilaterally to invade Iraq in an unprovoked declaration of war that would have been viewed by the rest of the world as an illegal act of aggression -- just as Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was an illegal act of aggression.

"Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, noting the U.S. diplomatic efforts at the United Nations, said the administration was wisely turning away from its go-it-alone approach to foreign affairs. Administration officials, he said, "clearly have learned the unilateral, dictatorial approach ... did not work, and I think they've accepted it," Daschle, D-S.D., told "Fox News Sunday." He said the reaction from around the world to the earlier policy has been "almost universally negative," and only over the past few months "have we realized that there is a value in this multilateral approach." story.news.yahoo.com
