Hogwash. Bush Sr. took the time he needed to work within the UN -- and it was in the name of the UN that action was taken. It was an extraordinary show of international consensus. The world would not stand for an unjustifiable invasion of Kuwait. The same was true in 2003 when the US could not justify the invasion of Iraq and the UN opposed the invasion. The US invasion of Iraq had no more legal legitimacy than the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
