the UN is passing Judgement on Iraq not the USA Why is it so many that support a War with Iraq spend so much time twisting the truth? It is the USA that wishes to become Judge, Jury and executioner, of the Iraq. Iraq has not acted aggressively in any way towards the USA. The rest of the world has not elected Bush jr, come to think of it neither did Americans, however Americans have appointed Bush jr president of their country, hopefully for less than 2 more years, but I wouldn't count on it. The majority of the world opposes war with Iraq at this time if you are for democracy why do you oppose the wishes of the majority? The UN is far from perfect and many nations suffer from criminal leadership, but making the Bush jr leader of the world - no thanks you can keep him all to yourself.

That tells us the superpowers haven't been behaving. If there was better leadership at the top, the smaller nations would follow. Unfortunately, the larger nations have been raping the smaller nations and in order to do so have supported corrupt local regimes. Thus, those nations haven't really had an opportunity to mature. So, today, we have America as really the only game in town. And, sadly, we find it misbehaving.
