The Oil for food program was a CIA cover to extract the componants of WMD's to warehouses in Langly in exchange for Saddam lettin' us find him alive so he could at least enjoy Doritos and satelite TV- hey, it's better'n bein' dead.

If UN resolutions must be obeyed.....

How come Israel wasn't bombed ever by the US for its many violations ?

Because all the UN resolutions concerning Israel and the Palestinians are under Chapter Six of the UN charter, meaning that they are unbinding, unenforceable recommendations, not like those under Chapter Seven, which are binding and enforceable. All the UN resolutions concerning Iraq since Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait are Chapter Seven resolutions.

Your points are goods ones, but probably not in the way you intended. It is more a statement of why the UN doesn't work, as this nice article discusses

I've been instructed by the very nice (and very large) fellas standin' behind me to let everyone know that my last post was merely a joke, and should in no way be taken seriously.
In return, I get to live in my house, and do not have to go anywhere scary (although I have to pay for a new front door myself).

I believe that it's against contemporary US policy to invade or bomb nations who have verifiably working nukes.

But we want to. We want to be "safe" again. We want American pluck and tenacity to prevail, just 'cause it should. 'Cause we're the good guys. We have a destiny. Bush and Rove understand this and that's why they have chosen such an absolutist stance on absolutely everything. When Bush dodges another nay-saying media bullet, a part of us sees him sticking it to reality and we applaud. Unable to give us reality-based solutions to insoluble problems, they give us the dream of a triumphant America, black and white politics, state of the art new clothes on the emperor and we the people eat it up.


Right on the mark. And it works because many Americans are so addicted to their fiction of America that they will deny ANYTHING- even reality... especially reality- to maintain the addiction.
