I said that if we want to enforce UN resolutions, we should probably find out if the UN wants them enforced.

We don't need UN approval to do stuff. But unless the UN asks, we can't claim "violation of UN resolutions" as a justification.

The UN sure as heck expects the U.S. to be the military muscle when they want something done, though. As in getting Saddam out of Kuwait in 1991. Next time they EXPECT that from us, I have a certain finger I'd like to give them!!
So you're saying we shouldn't have kicked Saddam out of Kuwait in 1991?
Oh, absolutely we should have. But we didn't need UN approval to do it.
