Let’s assume for a second that the Iraqi war was perfectly planned and that the aftermath of the fall of Saddam had been a smooth transition to democracy. Would Kofi Annan have said this:

From our point of view and the [U.N.] charter point of view, [the Iraq war] was illegal.

So, in other words, the financial interests of France, Germany and Russia trump the humanitarian and peacemaking mission of the UN?

What exactly would be a legal action under the UN charter? Sitting around and doing nothing while millions of people are killed in Sudan? Sitting around and doing nothing while millions of people are killed in Bosnia? Sitting around and doing nothing while hundreds of thousands of people are tortured and killed in Iraq? Sitting around and doing nothing about human rights violations in North Korea, Iran, China, Kafur? Sitting around and doing nothing while North Korea and Iran develop nuclear weapons programs? Accepting bribes and allowing the Iraqi government to sell oil illegally?

The UN is a useless, corrupt organization that does nothing accept translate speeches.
