In all fairness, the U.N. doesn't have the military strength to stop the U.S from doing whatever it wants. But it is still occasionally capable on intervening in disputes and disasters involving smaller countries. Often a UN resolution is capable of stopping a war, when the leaders feel compelled to posture and feel inexorably drawn to a war they don't want. A sibgle resolutions can give them an excuse to conpromise. But when a country with more military might than the rest of the world combined decides to set off on the warpath and dismisses the UN and any peacable process as worthless, well, there's not much the UN *can* do. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
