Claudia! Am I the only one who thinks that the war that we are fighting was CAUSED by the UN?

More than a decade of bungled ‘peace’; ineffectual weapons inspection; a sanction system that killed hundreds-of-thousands of innocents while the very target of the sanctions was intentionally supported via a devious kick-back set-up. Could Sadaam have been as dangerous if not for the power granted by the body that so many regard (even today) as responsible?

Can it be said now?

So often I hear that we were lied into this war, that there were no WMD. This goes unchallenged.

There were WMD, they were not accounted for by the UN. It should never have been considered to be the responsibilty of the invaders to produce the weapons, that responsibility was incumbent upon the UN and their failure to do so made the invasion necessary.

If a lunatic felon is seen entering a school with a gun, and if that felon is shot by the police, and if the gun is not found, the police are not to be punished for their inability to find the gun.
