Re: U.N. Approval With regard to the U.N., I certainly think this idea of Bush having a "massive diplomatic failure" is way over played. While it is laudable that Bush sought approval from the U.N., most of the U.N. history has been one of being long on partisan rhetoric and short on meaningful action. During the cold war, I think some 78% of all proposals were vetoed in the Security Council. So while I am not a solid supporter of this war, the fact that Bush didn't get total approval from the U.N. doesn't surprise me or concern me at all. If we ran our country based on approval from the U.N., I think we would be in big trouble. Moreover, in this case, it can well be argued that Bush does have approval from the U.N. and is merely enforcing a U.N. resolution that was already passed. Regards, Huey
