Originally posted by Stratos: The US/UK probably want the rest of the world backing them up and supporting their solution on Iraq. Doing things on their own without a broad support might make the US a bit unpopular around the globe. They have already said no to ICC and Kyoto agreement, and a war on Iraq might make things even worse. Are you kidding? The world is going to dislike the US/UK no matter what we do, so why try and please them? As for the UN being useless, I disagree. The UN consists of their member states and if we wan´t a good, wellfunctioning UN it is up to all members to make it so. I agree here, key part here is 'up too all its members to make it so'. Besides there are successful parts of the UN as well, it doesn´t only consists of the Security Counsil. It is true though that UN has failed their job several times before, but that doesn´t make it a complete failure. US/UK believes that there are proof enough that Iraq has WoMD, but the sceptics are not convinced. It is up to US/UK to convince them that Iraq has all the WoMD that they claim it has. Let the UN inspectors stay in Iraq a couple of months more to find the damning evidence needed to get a worldwide support for a war. I think your incorrect here. Like I said in my first post, the inspectors are NOT dectives. A few more months? Like when? Three? Three more months it will be June, see Felixs post. Still need to press him though, the inspectors wouldn´t even be in Iraq right now if it hadn´t been for US threatening to invade.

Agreed.
