The United nations as a body has become inneffective. their "weapons inspectors" always seem to be looking in the wrong places, and seem to just be having a good old time wandering about the desert on someone else's bill.
if the UN was serious about this then they should have worded the resolutions to say that Iraq allow an unobstructed search of their country, and all records, or face the consequenses of military action. This is perfectly legal in most nations that recognise due process of law, as it pertains to search and seizure procedures (it is in effect a search warrant). But, alas, the United Nations chose to pussy-foot around the issue.
The world knows, and especially Saddam Hussein, that the United Nations has no teeth, and cannot effectively enforce it's will, mainly because the United Nations has no military arm of its own.
Do I need to remind you that the UN gave the go-ahead for the Gulf War in 1991. The UN gave the signal, and most of it's members responded by taking part in Desert Storm. Of course the UN can enforce it's will. They do however, try to use military action only as a last resort.
You can put a child in a corner for being bad, but will that make them change their behavior? As the Father of three, I say usually not.
There must be some consequence, and the United Nations has blown enough smoke. Their Resolutions have stated over and over that Iraq must comply or face military action, and after 12 years, I think that they have had enough time. A deadline was set by the United Nations for March 17th.
And BTW.. we found his stash..
After seeing video of those poor demoralized American soldiers and engineers caught by the Iraqis, not to mention the pictures of the unfortunate Americans that have lost their lives, I certainly wouldn't say "got em by the balls". This is the worst scenario for the US militay since Viet Nam. I pray that it doesn't get any worse, but it will, seeing as that all of the urban warfare still lies ahead of them. Pray for peace, man. I don't want anyone to die, regardless if they drink Budweiser or smoke from the Shisha pipe.
