Yes that's right. That's always been an issue. With Europeans and others oppsed to the war as well. Ever heard of the Roman Empire? A Superpower without checks and balances is a frightening thing. The US can, and will do what it wants, whether with UN sanction, or without.
There is no "right side" in this mess. All have blame at their feet. France, America, Germany, Iraq, Britain, Syria, Turkey. It's a mess. War always is.
Iraqs new "freedom" (and all the 'slavery' pseudo-democratic capitalism brings, such as debt etc) was still bought at a horrendous cost of human life and U.S. taxpayer dollars. New York's economy is down the toilet. Over 100 Americans dead, countless Arabs.
Let's hope things look up from here.
