Well.. all this fuzz about UN not wanting to attack Iraq due to insufficient evidence of Saddam not following the UN resolution.

Now that US is swarming all around Iraq, where is the WMD, which why UN was supposed to attack Iraq?

So far it looks like UN did do correctly.

actually the UN said Iraq probably had WMD. Why do you think the UN had resolutions against Iraq?

Iraq was not complying with UN resolutions and the UN never backed up their words with the threat of force, so now NOBODY care what the UN demands. The UN made itself a paper tiger.

Well, the UN was wrong when they said Iraq probably had WMD. Europe said the same thing.

Not if you asked the ones who were there inspecting. Wasnt that what we all waited for? for the inspections to end?

The inspections have ended and Iraq is now in compliance with the UN resolutions. What's the problem again?

Can you guess why UN inspecters were allowed into Iraq to begin with? It has something to do with the US and the threat of force, not warnings from the UN.

So you are saying you invaded Iraq to do a weapons inspection?

when did I say that?

You can't face the fact that only the threat and use of force made Saddam and Iraq comply with the UN .

Did Saddam allow the UN ispections becaue he was a nice guy? Maybe he was afraid of the UN.

No, he was FORCED to allow inspections because the US made him do it.

The US told everyone that because the UN would not back it's resolutions with even the threat of force and Iraq was still not complying, we would go in alone if need be. That's how it was "sold"

What did they not comply with? after all they didnt have any WMD... And the inspectors were let to inspect everything they wanted...

The point being the the UN holds no power and demands no respect because they refuse to enforce their demands with force when required.
