Invading Iraq = disaster relief? in your dreams. The decision to offer aid to people in the aftermath of a crisis where hundreds of thousands of people died does not require a Security Council Resolution. Invading a sovereign country, destroying its government and killing its people in the name of the UN on the other hand does require UN Security Council approval. That is what the American public wanted. Instead, they got one tall tale after another about Iraq being a "threat", and about mushroom clouds, mobile weapons labs, massive WMD stockpiles, links to al Qaida, and all manner of bogus fear and war mongering. Now that people see there was no threat, and there were no WMDs and there were no links to al Qaida, and there was no defensive rationale to invade Iraq, all they have left is a smirking President and the tab -- and the tab grows by the day. Americans have grown sick of the war -- small wonder.
