Reply #17: It's not our country that we want action on [View All]

Iran hasn't threatened us. We don't have providence over the rest of the world outside of our ability to punish them with our military. That's our dog in the fight. Our ability to dictate through the threat of our force. The United Nations has so far resisted that. It may be the only major world institution which has the potential to rally enough opposition to an attack to put Bush off. Didn't work before, though.

I still think it's not enough to accept that he'll go around them anyway, and become cynical about opposing them in the forums which are available to us.

A U.N. resolution, the Chapter 7 type that Bolton called for, is the same pretext that Bush built his phony case for his invasion and occupation of Iraq with. Foot in the door.
