Clearly Bush doesn't think that it matters too much that the various countries I mentioned (including the USA) are failing to comply with UN Security Council resolutions. So who is supposed to decide which UN resolutions matter and which don't?

There are countries all round the world which treat their citizens appallingly. There are limits on what outside governments can do to change this. It would be good if governments were to do what they could to try to make things better in such countries. Starting maybe with the oppressive governments which are friendly to them, because they are perhaps most likely to take some notice.

Maybe if the USA had had this as a priority when it was supporting and arming Saddam Hussein the situation there would never have got as bad.

Somehow I'm reminded of a group of kids kicking a football around. And one of them says "It's my ball. If I can't be captain, I'm going to take it and go home."
