What's the violation?

If you really believe there have been no violations, then you are blind.

I will spend my time elsewhere rather than trying to convince someone whose eyes are shut through his own choice.

You really believe there are no violations of the UN resolutions by Iraq. That is just UFB.

Who has Iraq just invaded?

No one. They invaded Kuwait in the early 90s thus bringing the ceasefire on themselves. They have violated the ceasefire terms for 12 years thus bringing enforcement of those terms on themselves.

What's the violation?

12 years of a WMD program. Or even just not fully complying with the inspections.

We're not doing this to enforce the UN resolution and it's fatuous to pretend we are.

The fact that France won't agree to a new resolution doesn't mean we won't be enforcing the existing ones.

and don't try to pretend to us that you're doing it for any moral and respectable ground...

No pretending involved.

Tim

One of the terms of the Versailles Treaty ending WW1 prohibited Germany from "militarizing" (meaning introdocing arms and soldiers into) the Rhineland. In 1935, under orders of Adolph Hitler, the Germany Army marched into the Rhineland.

Would France and/or the UK have been wrong had they crossed into Germany and forced back the German troops?
