here is a list of a little more than half of the armed conflicts since the UN Security Council came into existence.
how many were stopped by the UN?
how many did the world get completely up in arms about?
how many were stopped by protesting?
how many lives were saved through the compassion of France?
how many are conflicts we never heard of?
i think that todays events and invading Iraq are completely consistent with armed conflict in the last 50 years... and certainly so, looking beyond 50 years. So is defiance of the UN Security Council and so is defying popular opinion.
I think that the UN Security Council is a necessary evil... but its irrelevent if all players dont have the same political, economic and national interests.
clearly, the idea of "peace" is not much of a motivation for decisive action on anyones part.
history will not really remember this Iraq training exercise today. we dont even care if African tribes butcher each other by the thousands with machetes... and rivers swell with 100,000 dead bodies.
... why will the world remember one more dictactor ceasing to be?
