What the UN is doing now is equivelent to them saying

Dear Iraq
We, the member nations of the UN, have decided that you should disarm and get rid of your WMDs. Please do this in a reasonable amount of time, but don't worry if you need more time, we will give you more.
Also, we expect that you will do this, or you will have to answer to serious consequences. Again, don't worry, by serious consequences, we mean that we will all get together again and debate how reasonable it would be to tell you to disarm again.
Oh, and don't worry about it anyway, France only signed on to this letter because they didn't want to look bad when everyone else signed it.
By the way, we know we asked you several times to tell us about all those old WMDs you had. Would it be possible for you to answer those requests? If you can't that ok too.
Love
The UN.

I've seen little children do this too.
If you don't do what I say, I'm going to pout about it some more. Wha!!!!!
