You can now see that even the mighty US needs friends.

Its always nice to have friends.

IMO if the invasion is justified with UN approval it is also justified without such approval, and if it is wrong or unjustified without UN approval then it would also be wrong or unjustified with such approval.

There may be practical benefits to UN support but even these can easily be exaggerated. If UN support meant that another 40,000 non American soldiers where helping out in Iraq the situation wouldn't be that much different then it is now.

Al,

Tim: "Do you think an invasion of Iraq to topple Saddam would have been justified in 1991? Would you have supported it?"

Al: "Only if the UN had agreed to it and it did not."

Action is justified, and you would support it only if UN agreed to it.

Excuse me but:

I am sorry, I couldn't hold it in.

Joe
