Napoleon was the one who said the winners write the history books. They also write the laws. The US as a major contributing force the in _winning_ of WW2, helped create the UN, and these laws we are supposed violating. It doesn't get much simpler that the fact that, the winners always win. Unless the coalition loses in Iraq, your statement is provably false in light of history. Go ahead quote Chapter 7, article 50-whatever that everyone else parrots. I've read it, and it has nothing do do with what is going on in Iraq. Even if someone, say the abomination that is the ICC, were to have the balls to bring charges, would you volunteer to come collect the accused to stand trial? They say the meek shall inherit the earth, but the meek stand no chance while people like Saddam are still around. If peace is to have a chance, people like Saddam can not exist, and while it seems that most people agree that Saddam is like you say, evil and despotic. Can you tell me why then, in the 12 years after the gulf war, no one other than the US and UK have attempted to put forward any motion in the UN to get rid of him? If not for the US forces, Saddam would probably still be holding on to Kuwait today. If not for the US forces, Japan would probably be ruling Australia today. If not for US forces, Soviet or Chinese style Communism would be the form of government for the majority of nations in the world. Sometimes forces is necessary without the approval of a bunch of self-serving UN members.
