>Saddam will be taken care of shortly. UN or no UN.

And you think you can do this in isolation.

How many warnings do you need that US action without the backing of the UN will cause more problems than it will solve.

The most recent from Saudi Arabia - warning that if the attack is not with the UN backing, it will be seen as an act of aggression, that you will be solving one problem while creating 5 more & could be destabilising the entire of the Middle East.
