[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I usually don't care much for the veto either, but I don't know how many BAD resolutions a veto has prevented. [QUOTE]Bush likes to claim that UN approval isn't necessarily important to launch an attack. If that's true, then why haven't we attacked already? [/QUOTE]1. Because we had to prove that we were willing to take the diplomatic route first. To show that we weren't "rushing to war" as some claim (15 months - or 5 years or 12 years, depending on how you look at it - must be the longest "rush to war" in history). 2. Because we wanted to prove our assertion that the UN isn't willing to act on its own decrees. The veto will show that. 3. Because we wanted to know who our allies are, and who are our "fair-weather friends" only. The political wrangling in the UN and elsewhere, the vote, and the veto (if any) will show that as well.
