Isn't the memory hole wonderful? It seems that *the president* didn't actually want to go in either, for fear of exactly the situation you're in now. Whims of your allies and your president, maybe.

"The UN is good for forming peace keeping missions, but once the kettle boils to war they should step aside."

Hello, Kofi? Yeah, hi. We want a war. What's that you say? You don't want a war? Well, that's really too bad. The kettle's boiled, we're having one. Now step aside and let the big men do the heavy lifting.

"Also, the history of the world up to this point indicates that "might makes right", and the victors write the histories -- as much as you or I might like to rely on justice, truth, logic, or compassion I just don't see that what we think matters much."

The only thing preventing Al Qaeda from invoking this principle and ruling the world is firepower.
