When US won't put money and troops where its mouth is...
http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/columnist/0,1886,145,00.html

The bottom line is this: 'According to the lessons learned, the ultimate consequence for Iraq of a failure to generate adequate international manpower and money are likely to be lower levels of security, higher casualties sustained and inflicted, lower economic growth rates, and slower, less thoroughgoing political transformation.'

This is the mess US unilateralism has created. It has become a mess the world must now help clean up.

4. uhh,
just where the heck have you been for the past 10 years?

Imposing economic sanctions on a permanent Security Council (and the one that has the most military power) is going to happen at about the same time hell freezes over.

Seriously man, where the hell do you get the idea that international groups have ANY power over first-world nations?

6. economic sanctions? Sure.
bu$h&co spent months getting our military in place over there. They ran roughshod over the rest of the world to invade Iraq.
Economic sanctions? By who? The rest of the world couldn't stop him in his quest to claim Iraq's oil for the US.
