What makes you think the U.N. or America has the authority to disarm anyone? America is no more legally or morally authorized to disarm Iraq than they are of disarming America. What would those who support the forced disarmament of Iraq based on a U.N. resolution say if the U.N. security council told America that we had to disarm entirely and that they would send inspectors from China, Russia, France, and Iraq to inspect the white house, pentagon, military bases, missle silos, and even American homes 24 hours a day 7 days a week without notice?
America would tell the U.N. to shove it. And that's exactly what Iraq should do. Iraq is a sovereign nation and doesn't ask permission from the U.N. or America about which weapons they can or should have.
Bush is using unverified non-compliance with the U.N. resolution against Iraq as an excuse to start an unconstitutional war while at the same time fipping the U.N. the bird and telling them we won't listen to them if they tell us not to use force. Why should Iraq listen to the U.N. if America won't?
