"UN Sec Council never decided on whether or not Iraq was in breach of Resolution 1441." It didn't require a vote. It only required a material breach of 1441 & that was clearly defined so there would be little wiggle room for interpretation. When Iraq filed their false report in December, the jig was legally up at that point. The US gave the UN & Iraq more time to make additional material breaches, which they did. Again, no vote was necessary to determine what cold, hard fact already established. And 1441 allowed for "Serious consequences". Now the Butcher of Baghdad knows what that means.

<<Washington is trying to portray its battle as one of liberation, not conquest, but Iraq is about to be invaded by thousands of U.S. evangelical missionaries who say they are bent on a "spiritual warfare" campaign to convert the country's Muslims to Christianity. Among the largest aid groups preparing to provide humanitarian assistance to Iraqis ravaged by the war are a number of Christian charities based in the southern United States that make no secret of their desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and win over Muslim souls. The largest of these is the Southern Baptist Convention, an ardent supporter of the war as an opportunity to bring Christianity to the Middle East. It says it has 25,000 trained evangelists ready to enter Iraq. "That would [mean] a heart change would go on in that part of the world," Mark Liederbach of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary explained in a recent speech to the SBC. "That's what we need to be praying for. That's how a Christian wages spiritual warfare.">> Just what the situation needs... more dogma. We should have sent the 25,000 blind parrots over ahead of the troops. Our religious whackos vs theirs as a warmup act to the real war. This is sure to inflame the whole Muslim world if the US govt allows it to happen. On the brighter side, at least there'll be less of them knocking at my door telling me I have it all wrong.
