My point, parenthetical to be sure, is that "Oh we'll uphold a document
written a long time ago--every jot and tittle--but a UN sanction (the US
being one of the founding members of the UN, I may add here) that pertains
to the here and now... well, we're not going to trouble ourselves with that
piece of parchment..." A document which was set out to find a peaceful
settlement to the current issue, *signed* by the United States, and which is
(again I say) flagrantly disregarded--by the Iraqis? Sure! But also by the
*only* country that seems to be hell-bent on invading said country.
So again--
international coalition = ignored
International law = ignored
Any peaceful aid by the United States = no

that'll send a loud screech into their headphones... ;)
