I can't agree with you FATW. The UN and it's predecessor, the League of Nations, were conceived and brought to life in the wake of WWI and WWII. I think their initial purpose was specifically to prevent those sort of massive wars from happening again.

I'd also point out that while the US 'unilaterally' entered Iraq, the world had a problem with Saddam Hussein, not just the US. Why else would the UN issue resolution after resolution in an effort to contain and supress Hussein's maniacal whims?
