Self-appointed, by virtue of having been largely responsible for defeating Iraq previously, being one of Iraq's most likely targets due to the leniency of the other Security Council members in enforcing the agreement and resolutions about Iraq, and having been partly responsible for the problem in the first place. Nevertheless, it seems the US government is attempting to obtain UN backing, so your point could be moot. Erik Reuter Plus who else does the world turn to when there is real trouble? How long did the europeons muck around in Kosovo region before they cried for help? Who had to help in Somalia and Ethiopia? How many freaking countries do we give money to just because we can? Some idiot on the Brin satellite list posted that the US never looks beyond it's own boarders to help other countries in times of need? WHAZATT? How much US aid do we give in earthquakes and flood and other disasters? What will the UN do, send in the French? Kevin T. I feel like I'm performing magic tricks in a retirement home. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
