re: I don't think the UN sees its role as what I have described in previous posts. I think it should, but I don't think it does at the moment. This is where earlier discussions of a United Nations of Democratic Countries should be formed comes in.

Again, it's the Security Council, in which we have significant influence, that makes the decisions. Have you seen the Bush admin flexing it's muscle to convince the SC to intervene in Darfur?

re: As for Iraq, we shall see over the next decade whether invasion 2 produced more good that the other option (a continuation of the 1991-2002 Iraq situation). Time will tell.

You want to base your unilateral preemptive US military policy on "time will tell"? You want to go further and further into debt, destroy our prosperity, and spend 10,000's of American lives on "time will tell"?

You need to think seriously about the entire price, human, financial and political, that we have paid and will continue to pay in Iraq. For what?
