This from James Morrow:

But the naive belief among journalists with little or no international law background that no military action is legitimate without the UN's seal of approval is one thing. The continued fetishistic belief of politicians and opinion-makers in the supposed good intentions of the UN is another -- and it is something that needs to end immediately.

Especially when we now know that two of the permanent seats on the Security Council could be bought by a creep like Saddam Hussein. There is no reason any longer to trust the good faith of the U.N. We have two scandals, the Oil for Food corruption of U.N. bureaucrats and the Oil for Security Council Vetoes scandal. To that, add the Brahimi scandal now developing.
