"However, in this case, it wasn't us acting as the world's policeman. "

Sure it was. Your premise is that the UN resolutions had to be enforced, so we did it.

If that isn't policing, what is?

"The instant Saddam first violated Resolution 687, America was within its rights to act to restart the war."

No, it wasn't. Bush needed to go BACK to the UN and get a war resolution. He didn't, and his invasion was illegal. As illegal as the Russian's recent invasion of Georgia.
