If they want to debate legalities, pick any one of 18 UN resolutions that either justify or mandate force since UN686/7 in '91. The UN has pulled the equivilent of a conditional delayed sentancing, but when the time for sentancing came, they said "We've kindda forgotten about that, can we just ignore it?"

The UN invalidated itself when it specified a course of action for a condition set, and then failed to carry out that course of action. Reguardless of how people feel about what the course of action was. The UN said they were going to do something and didn't.
