Subject: RE: BS: Irony: Bush and the UN
I am getting confused from all of these arguments. Let me see if I have this straight.
In Iraq we should have gotten a UN coalition before going in with the support of France
In Haaiti we waited too long to build a UN coalition with the support of France and should have went in unilaterally.
With Al Queda we should have made a preempive strike to have avoided 9/11 but we should not have done this in Iraq.
In North Korea I don't know if we are supposed to form a UN coalition, go in unilatterrally, or form a coalition of the willing with Japan, China, and Russia. The only thing we know for sure is that North Korea is a bigger threat than Iraq or Al Queda.
I guess we will have to wait to see what Bush does and than say we should have done the opposite.
1 million Rowandans and 3 million Cambodians would probably disagree with you about putting the UN in charge, but they are dead.
