Wrong. Removing Saddam saved Iraqi lives. While Saddam starved to death children, he spent billions of dollars on palaces that included gold faucets. And instead of using plumbing equipment to purify water, he made lakes and waterfalls for himself.
1996:
"It is estimated that 500,000 Iraqi children have died because of the non-compliance of the Iraqi Government with [United Nations] Security Council resolutions 706 (1991), 712 (1991) and 986 (1995) since the end of the Gulf War. "

4 months before the opening attack on Saddam (November 2002) :
"Despite improvements there are still close to one million children under the age of five suffering from chronic malnutrition in Iraq today - that's nearly a quarter of all children of that age," said Mr. Carel de Rooy, the head of UNICEF in Iraq. "This is unacceptable. More still needs to be done to end the suffering of a generation of children."

Only the United Nations [UN] can put United Nations sactions on a country.

Let's dispense with the obvious rhetoric and ask why America is not condemned by the UN, just for academic purposes.
In fact, there have been a lot of "anti-American" resolutions debated in the United Nations, throughout its history. In rare cases they pass, usually the most common ones that do pass are ones that actually condemn Israel, and the United States is just mentioned as an ally.
Most do not pass, because they are either vetoed by the majority of the vetos on the Security Council, or in the case of a General Assembly resolution, fail to pass because most nations are reasonable and would never sanction a country that they trade with and provide so much business for them.
You'd be hard pressed to name more than thirty nations that do not have some kind of trade or economic tie to the United States, consider the General Assembly has over 100 nations in it, passing such a resolution would be very difficult indeed.
Also most General Assembly resolutions are just political rhetoric, the real action items of the UN are debated in the Security Council, or in some cases in the Poli-Legal and Eco-Soc assemblies.

1. USA is not a fascist State.
2. Bush is not a dictator.
3. The USA is NOT stealing oil
4. USA is NOT killing Iraqis for their own benefit. The last car bomb was made by guess who.... And Iraqi!
5. Millions of Iraqis have not died.
Get the Facts to the Truth... not the propaganda you have been spoon fed.

While most people don't believe the U N is worth, to paraphrase John Garner's knock on the VPresidency, a 'bucket of warm spit', those people, in those many nations on many continents, including No. Amer., are quite infuriated with the imperious manner in which Geo Bush has chosen to exert his power of presidency. These offended peoples, whom we'll hopefully, never meet in war, find ways every day to badmouth or sabotage American interests and properties. One of them asked the question I'm answering.
While 7 out of 10 Americans now share this frustrated anger at the initiation of this pointless, endless war, they also understand that our evacuation would culminate finally in a world oil crisis. Our interference in this area tipped the balance of power from despised, but orderly regimes, to a coalesced revolutionary front that are resolved to fight the US to victory with Iran's and the previous USSR's help.
Our nation's children, in high school, now, will be the next phalanx of Americans to fight the endless war that needn't have been a war at all. How many more missing arms, legs, and heads will be Bush's legacy?

Don't blame the US for the actions of an idiot figurehead who was elected in a shame election. The people of the United States are, have been, and always will be the most moral people. If you come to America and observe our culture, you will see that we all want Bush out. His approval ratings are less than 30%, and his disapproval rating is well over 50%. A few neo-Nazi republican blow hards remain (O'Rielly, Limbaugh). Unfortunately, the writers strike didn't take them off the air.
I agree that Saddam needed to be taken down, but then we should have gotton out of there. If the Iraqis want freedom and democracy, let them fight for it. The US had this little conflict called the Civil War, which was one of the bloodiest wars we ever fought.

UN is another Failure at a one world Government, Fascist are of course disappointed at that.
USA needs to cut the powers of the Federal Government back to the founding fathers intent as listed in the United States Constitution.

Bush is not a dictator.
USA didnt steal oil from iraq.
USA killed iraqi terrorists who want to kill americans.
BUsh is has done nothing to even come close to comparing to Mao or Stalin.
UN has no power to do anything to USA, and USA has done nothing to deserve it.
USA is not a fascist country, Bush is not a dictator, you dont know how good you have it, you smarmy prick. Learn about real dictators and fascists countries and you wont come off as so ignorant.

first of all, whoever you are, you don't have a clue as to what the US is all about. America does not buy oil or get oil from Iraq. Bush doesn't kill Iraqis.. their own people kill each other.. Saddam killed 10's of thousands of them.. and as for the UN.. frankly I wish we could take the entire organization and send them somewhere else.. perhaps to your country.. wherever that may be. You deserve them..

It's amazing how quick some americans are to jump in and insult someone for grammatical errors when they obviously speak english as a second language...... I'd love to follow any one of them to another country and poke fun at them for saying "Yo Quiero mas frijoles, por favor" the wrong way. In response to your question, the UN is a joke, its sole existence is a mockery at this point in time, due to the US control over most facets of their day-to-day operations. And yet the UN IS complaining about what America is doing, so that should say something in itself, when the puppet complains about the puppetmaster, something is serously wrong. Bush may not be titled "dictator" but he sure does like to use the powers of his office to make himself feel like one. Instead of feeling used and betrayed, and bitching on the internet, what I don't understand is.... WHY DON'T THE 52% OF AMERICANS WHO VOTED FOR ONE MAJOR PARTY OR OTHER, WHO VOTED FOR GORE IN 2000, DO SOMETHING??????????

the firms and the evangelicals are the fascist combination. The evangelicals are brainwashing babies to settle for blind obedience. the firms are buying our elected representatives and we are on an particularly slippery slope to a fascist state. you're good too many similarities to Nazi Germany in 1934. undergo in concepts G.W.'s grandfather Prescott replaced right into a Nazi supporter, Georgie has suspect DNA.
