Hi Karen LP. I appreciate the work you did to present your case. Sometimes going back six posts (as you suggest I should do) ends up taking me in another direction off on some other unrelated subject and I never return. LOLOL I see that Syria's in violation of Section VII, but I think we need their support in the event of war, so we can overlook that? Now in that post it says there's an authorization to use all necessary means to uphold and implement resolution 660 (1990) and all subsequent relevant resolutions and to restore international peace and security in the area". Restore international peace is part of the authority of that section. It seems to me it's peaceful there now and Iraq is cooperating. Is that not right? Treating these sections as autonomous edicts doesn't really take into consideration some caveats that are no doubt built into this. I sure can't decipher all this and come to some unequivocal conclusion. Do you have a conclusion and reasons for such? However, the UN recognized, under Article 42 of the UN Charter, the need for special military measures to be taken if a Chapter VII resolution is ignored by an aggressor. I see you've added Israel to the mix, but I'm not sure how that fits into all this.
