We are more powerful than any nation in the history of the world. True. No one could fight us and win... yeah. A nation sanctioned or punished without us will not have that good a chance of working, either...
Yet people like you seem to want us to not use that power to actually help people. I don't understand why since we have this power people like you or Bush hate peacekeeping so much... its the best way to help some troubled nations before they get to the point we have to send in the army... I just don't get it...
As for this war. We are now in... at this point we can't just pull out. I mean we could, but given what's happened so far it wouldn't be a very good idea... I'm just scared that once its over Bush will continue his idiotic hatred of the UN by denying them the work they do best -- the peacekeeping and humanitarian aid after we finish... since with Bush in power having some US peacekeepers is too much to hope for...
Oh, and I hope that they find Sadaam didn't have chemical/biological weapons... they probably will (since he's almost certainly hiding some), but if they don't that'd sure show up Bush.. :)
Also, I definitely think that if we'd stuck with tougher inspections it would have worked in the end...
I do not understand this hatred of the UN. It makes no sense... why is it that it supposedly only works when it agrees with us? I'd say that that is the height of arrogance... um, disagreement is the heart of any good democratic government... and when pretty much every nation in the world has populations strongly antiwar I'd certainly hope that the UN would be against it too... it shows that governments do listen to their people and not just suck up to the US in hopes for more aid...
Edit:
France says it wants us to win.

Oh, and eating your Freedom Fries? With your other positions, do you actually think that that one is sane too?
