Despite the legalistic jargon that TL showed, do you think the world and the youth of today sees the US (and the coalition of the willing) as acting in concert with the UN or as thumbing your nose at the UN and taking the law into their own hands?

It's a perception thing and an opportunity to put your feet into other people's shoes. I might well agree with the legalities put forward by TL, but do we think that is going to win popular support for the actions of today?

I'll probably get told something like "who cares", and "we are not out to win a popularity contest", but I can't help thinking that going their own way (yes, I still hold by that) on this issue has huge negative consequences for the UN and the future.
