The UN resolutions were for the UN- they don't exist for any country to simply take up the ball and invade somewhere. That seems clear as crystal to me. The US is not the UN all by itself. Please apply that to the first Gulf War then X... Because NO coalition member conducted operations in that war under the UN flag. The UN NEVER SPECIFICALLY authorized the use of military force to evict Iraq from Kuwait. Don't believe me? Look up the UNSC resolutions related to that war and show me where the UN specifically authorized the use of military action against Iraq... And as for International Law, exactly where does the UN derive its power to make such proclamations and resolutions? From it's members.. And like the United States, when the civil authorities REFUSE to enforce the laws they have passed, the individual citizen can apply the process of "citizen's arrest" to arrest and detain the violator. The UN failed to enforce over 17 different binding resolutions over 12 years. The US carried out a citizen's arrest. Hawk
