You have a selective memory. Think back to the UN resolution hearings. The entire UN Security Council said in it's opening paragraphs for 1441 that Saddam posed a threat to world peace and security by refusing to comply with the UN mandates. 12 Years of resolutions ignored. The entire UNSC demanded Iraq account for materials mising since IAEA's final trip years earier and instead of even trying to bluff his way around the resolution Saddam simply refused to comply. The ONLY reason france, germany and russia refused to uphold the resolution THEY signed was because they were breaking UN sanctions and feared discovery. And after 9/11 the US would be foolish to ignore a gahtering threat. None of those countries expected the US to actually attack, why would they? 12 years of inaction! Even when our actions made it secure enough for inspectors to return to search for WMD (not what they are hired to do, by the way...the inspecters job was to document what sadaam was mandated to account), the UN was bombed. And refused to return until they got a guarantee of safety by the US. The point is the US upheld the resolution they signed. It's simple. Any whining now is demeaning our troops and allies, and using selective memory to justify making this campaign fodder. Shame on you.
