I’d rather be imprisoned in my home by changing one status colour than by imprisoned in jail just because Saddam Hussein or one of his sons doesn’t like you.

By the way, how is the U.S. action “unilateral” when they have the direct support of some 30 nations? And that’s not even counting those 15 or so that are with them but won’t say so publicly. As I understand it, the coalition for this action is the third largest coalition in history, behind only the Gulf War and WWII.

And FWIW, Clinton did not even seek UN approval for the US actions in Bosnia. I don’t remember anything close to an uproar over that.
