nah, i still like a good bush-joke, but that iraq war was a bit of a wakeup-call of what a apparently stupid man could be responsible for.
going from a relatively harmless president into one who attacks countries without the blessings of UN and stuff kinda makes the joke lose some of its lustre.
If Iran launched a nuke...

That could be true. I lost track of the thread about halfway, because I do not follow the news a lot for own reasons so I didn't understand everything said

The UN was never set up to dictate policy. It was set up to prevent conflicts. That obviously isn't happening.

Yeah, they tried to prevent a conflict by not backing the US invasion, but they did it anyway.

Again, the UN was never set up to dictate policy. The most they could have hoped for was a peaceful resolution, something which didn't happen because they completely dropped the ball. Don't blame it on a warmongering US, blame it on a broken UN which didn't lift a combined finger in Rwanda, and did the minimal possible to stave off international condemnation in Somalia, and still hasn't done anything about Kasmir or Chechnya.

So don't blame the US for actually starting it, blame the UN for not stopping it, even though the US wasn't listening to them anyway?

Blame the UN for not trying to stop it. They have been inflexible about peacekeeping operations since 1991.

I think the vast proportion of the blame still lies with THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY INVADED!

I think it lies with the people. Blame is easy to shift, but whom really lies responsible for it at the end of the day?
