Why do Iraq war supporters always bring up UN resolutions?

I am an isolationist and don't really care for the UN. I think it is a dysfunctional and irrelevant organization. So why does the US care about UN resolutions? If the UN had problems with Saddam, why didn't they take care of it themselves? If UN resolutions was a sufficient justification for the war, why did basically the entire world except for Great Britain abondon us?

My point is, if the UN makes resolutions, then dammit the UN needs to enforce them. I don't like to see US soldiers die to enforce UN resolutions. Nor do I like to see my rather hefty tax bill paying for such actions.

Al Sadr told his followers to stop attacking U.S. forces in Iraq for 6 monhts. Is it because their winning?

Here's the link:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294990,00.html

It's not being covered in the press, of course. If we're losing, why doesn't al Sadr tell his people to finish us off? Or does he just want to wait until after the elections, when he has a demonrat president to face, like "tough on terrorism" Mrs. Bill "i didn't have sex with that woman" Clinton, or "I use to be muslim, but not anymore" Osama Obama?

What do you say liberals and demonrats? You claim we're losing, how badly are we losing?

Saddam should have done his homework?

No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associated
With it than Iraq

And also, This is something to think about:Since America is typically represented by an eagle.

Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages ...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)

Koran ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah;
And there was peace.
(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!

I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE IT DELETED.

This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq.

Pass it on to everyone and pray.

Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM.
This is not a joke.

Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you.

Why did we attack a country that didn't attack us?

I mean, after the dust settled we invaded the country that did attack us. But then, we went and invaded another country that had nothing to do with the attacks and half the population of America didn't want that war. Why did we invade a sovreign nation, sure it's leader was a horrible dictator, but there are dictators all over the world. Shouldn't we have just focused on Japan for attacking us on Pearl Harbor and not worried about Hitler in Germany? I mean, isn't the right thing to do?

P.S. There's even talk that Roosevelt knew of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and let them happen or he was completey behind the whole thing.

Call to treason?

With so much controversy surrounding Bush and his administration over many, (major) issues, would you agree or disagree that it is healthy for so many U.S. citizens to question our current Government and the actions taken and those currently being taken?

Why do you like Dick Cheney? (Please don't answer if u hate him)?

I mean, WHAT THE HELL HAS HE DONE THAT IS SO GREAT? I realize that since his approval rating is 18% it will B hard to get an answer to this question. By the way 18% makes him less popular than:
Bush
Micheal Jackson
Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
Britney Spears
Nichole Richie
Kid Rock
OJ Simpson
Nixon's VP
Nixon
Herbert Hover
Calvin Coolidge
Jimmy Carter
Donald Trump
Pamela Anderson
and less popular among Americans than Joseph Stalin is with Russians

Oh and LOWER even than probably someone hardly anyone can imagine being less popular than KEVIN FEDERLINE! That's right, America thinks our elected VP is worse than Britney's Trailer trash bum back-up dancer ex-husband with 4 kids from 2 different wives.

Please don't respond to this question if u hate him. I only want to know from those who like him, WHY?

Oh, by the way, he IS more popular than Micheal Vick.

Whatever happened to due process.....?

John Kerry says our soldiers are sneaking into houses in the middle of the night and terrorizing civilians.
Obama says they're randomly bombing civilians.
-
These men supposedly represent our government and its' system of laws. Whatever happened to due process?
-
Our boys sweat and they bleed. They crawl in the dirt and run with 100 pounds of stuff when it's 130 degrees, without question, simply because it's their duty and someone told them too. If senior members of our government are going to say these heros commit war crimes, BY GOD they better be able to prove it in a court of law!!
-
Where is the due process for our soldiers? Every scumbag terrorists in the world has to have his day in court according to democrats, but they attempt to convict our greatest young men in the court of public opinion without presenting a shred of evidence. Where's the outrage and justice for the baseless slander of our soldiers?
