Al Re...The resolution condemned the repression of the Iraqi civilian population and demanded that Iraq end it immediately. It said the repression amounted to a threat to international peace and security - a phrase our correspondent says is often used to justify intervention. But critics of the no-fly zones point out that the resolution did not say the Security Council was acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which provides for enforcement action. Clearing the wreckage from a raid in 2000 Nor did it say that all necessary means could be used. <<< Isn't that exactly why the UN has become a laughing stock. The UN couldn't stop the Rawandan slaughter, Bosnia, and Iraq. What exactly did the UN have in mind when they passed resolution 688. The UN collectively passed that resolution, and all nations in the UN should have been responsible for its enforcement. Nonetheless, the article asks a pertinent question. Isn't it about time to stop the flyovers, and how to do that without another Rawandan style massacre. Getting rid of Saddam got rid of the need for the flyovers, and for that, the world should be grateful.
