"...[D]espite the UN's professed aversion to war, what it really seems to object to is victory. In the UN's 58-year history, two wars have been waged under Security Council auspices: Korea and the Gulf War. Both ended with less than total victories, leaving in power two of the worst tyrannies on earth, which are now two of the world's most dangerous rogue states. UN peacekeeping operations, too, are at best a mixed bag, with a record of failing to prevent such horrors as the Srebrenica massacre and the Rwanda genocide." --James Taranto On cross-examination... "...[T]he notion that the UN's 'moral' approval was somehow necessary [to disarm Iraq] is ludicrous, particularly since UN morality includes turning over its human-rights committee to Libya and repeatedly branding as racist the only Middle East democracy, Israel." --John Leo
