re: Lotsa people were wrong
What did you expect the U.N. to say? For the record, have they ever said anything else? Can you think of any political or peacekeeping situation where they haven't decided the solution was to talk a little more and keep pushing paper and paying employees?
Given the complete and utter failure of the United Nations in weapons control when dealing with any nation that simply decides not to cooperate, I am still amazed that so many are still stuck on the idea that if only we had let the U.N. work for one more year, five more years, fifty more years, that all would have been well in Iraq.
