I agree Bobber and the UN sucks at doing anything other than issuing ultimatums it has no plans to back-up.

However, there was no imminent threat to the U.S. and as abhorrent as it may sound, we had no right to unilaterally decide it was our job to enforce UN resolutions.

It set a very dangerous precedent that we could see China and others reference in the future as justification to invade their neighbors. It severely weakens our moral high ground on the issue.

On the flip side (as I wrote on my site) it had the intended effect of showing that the U.S. isn't afraid of casualties and that we are still a world power ready to defend ourselves. I hope this intended effect is realized and worth the price -- 'cause it's a big one!

I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.
