Why then does the United States ignore the requirements of our own Constitution, and go to war at the direction of a foreign power? Why then is Iraq expected to surender it's right of self-defense at the order of that same foreign power, the United Nations?

What a stupid argument. So you're saying that "sovereignty" is so sacrosanct that NO ONE can band together against a "sovereign" nation even if that nation represents a dire threat.

Okay, in that case, the United States was in the WRONG to joing the Allied Powers that "violated" Germany's sovereignty in 1918. Oh, and again in 1945.

Sovereignty is so sacrosanct that NO ONE should be allowed to desecrate it.

Having allies is not a problem. Going to war by our own decision is not a problem. However, if England had declared that we were at war with Germany in WW 2, THAT would be a problem.

The United States went to war with Iraq at the ORDER of the United Nations, in violation of our own sovereignty, and in violation of our written Constitution.

It is hard to re-write history when there are people alive when it occured. The United States went to war against Iraq because the UN ordered us to?

That is almost too silly to answer.
