Look, that whole deal about Iraq violating UN resolutions holds no water. That's information manipulated to go to war as well. Have a look at Iraq's violations compared to another country we happen to be pals with. If you still want to point to UN resolutions being violated as a good reason to go to war I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

Also, it's funny that we can pick and chose what about the UN we take seriously...because sure we can point to the UN violations and say..."Hey we needed to put a stop to this if we want the UN taken seriously"...then we ignore the UN and try to make them look like a bunch of ignorant morons when we dismiss going through the proper channels and attack Iraq on our own...essentially giving the UN the finger. I'd just like to see a little consistancy in the arguments because pointing to UN violations makes no damn sense.
