Sorry, I can't let this one slide. Read your own quote - the UN contended there was uncertainty over whether Saddam complied in destroying WMD.

While UNMOVIC has been preparing its own list of current “unresolved disarmament issues” and “key remaining disarmament tasks” in response to requirements in resolution 1284 (1999), we find the issues listed in the two reports as unresolved, professionally justified. These reports do not contend that weapons of mass destruction remain in Iraq, but nor do they exclude that possibility. They point to lack of evidence and inconsistencies, which raise question marks, which must be straightened out, if weapons dossiers are to be closed and confidence is to arise.

For those that believe the UN is pointless, what, in your opinion, should be the basis for settling conflict? What is the mechanism to give military action legitimacy? Is it the will of 45% to 55% of Americans that makes something a legitimate action in the worlds best interest? Maybe we should make it that at least 66.6% of Americans have to agree via plebiscite - at least that's a tougher standard than what is currently required. I have a lot of confidence that if 2/3 of Americans agree to something there is some pretty compelling evidence. Although I'm not sure, I don't recall there ever being 2/3 support for Iraq, ergo IMO the evidence only convinced people that are 'pro war' by nature plus some small % of the 'swingers'.
