Britain, of course, being a real ally. Britain will be with us in this, with or without UN sanction - except that point is meaningless, because we've _got_ UN sanction. A unanimous vote of the security council, in fact. At which point, exactly, do y'all stop genuflecting to the UN? Hussein is in violation of how many UN resolutions, exactly? 10? 15? If the UN doesn't take _itself_ seriously enough to actually bother to enforce those resolutions, then why do you? President Bush, Tony Blair, and John Howard appear to be just about the only three heads of government in the world who actually think the UN is worth preserving, instead of just being a laughingstock debating society.
