Ted Re...I don't agree. If you click on the link below and go to Resolution 1244, Page 6, Annex 2, and Statement 4: Good one Ted. Did you look at the dates. Resolution 1244, was drafted on June 10, the day considered to be the end of the war. http://ods-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N99/172/89/PDF/N9917289.pdf?OpenElement Now look at this site where it states the days of bombing. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_War The Kosovo war was a war between Serbian military (officially Yugoslavia, but Montenegro did not participate) on one side and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) on the other. NATO bombed Serbia from March 24 to June 10 of 1999, and this is generally considered the timespan of the war, although civil war between KLA and Serb security forces occurred both before and after this time. and this part. The legitimacy of NATO's bombing campaign in Kosovo has been the subject of debate. It is generally recognized that NATO did not have the backing of the United Nations to use force in Yugoslavia. The NATO bombing campaign was marketed as a "clean war" seeing the first real use of precision munitions. Spin doctors were employed by the American military, some of them send to work in CNN, in order to justify the bombardment to the western public. "Humanitarian bombardment", as it is also known, has however killed many civilians and every time a proof of possible NATO war crimes was presented at Serbian TV, NATO spokesman Jamie Shea issued appology for "colateral damage". Serbian TV was deliberately bombed. Possible war crimes of the NATO alliance have never been pursued by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, which is consequently seen as an instrument of NATO by the victims of the "humanitarian bombardment". Here is another lenghty paper, it cannot be pasted so look at the bottom paragraph page 23 and half of 14, it tells you why there was no UN resolution. Because Russia promised to veto it. IN addition, there was a lot of debate who was at fault for the war, Belgrade or the KLA terrorist group. Plus Russia was on Belgrades side, and would veto any action by the UN, so NATO had to do all of the heavy lifting. Well, nearly half the League of Nations had been annexed by Germany or were at war with the US. So it would have been a little tough for FDR to get their approval......I'm sure you agree. Look under Annex for member states: And that is why it is impossible to get unanimous action in the UN, because there are always two sides to each conflict, and each side has its benefactors, in this one Iraq has France,(oil), Germany (weapons) and Rusia,(both weapons and oil), on its side despite the overwhelming evidence; and we all know about the politicians ability to see whatever they want to see. The name 'United Nations' coined by US president FDR, was first used in the "Declaration of the UN" of 1 January, 1942 during WWII, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their Governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers." who are you trying to kid. There are over 160 nations, only 26 pledged to continue their fight against the axis. Thst isn't even a majority, mujch less unanimous. Not only that, France was already occupied by Germany, and therefore would have also vetoed the resolution that would have allowed the US to saved its bony carcas, so if the Us would have waited for a UN resolution, France would still be in German hands.
