"...The United States went to war against Iraq because the UN ordered us to? That is almost too silly to answer."
# 65 by CIB-173RDABN

*************************

How do you think it happened?

Member States of the United Nations went to war with Iraq, AFTER a United Nations resolution, and after a United Nations set deadline had passed.

The United States did not declare war, the U.N. did.

Then, like now, the United States requested a resolution of support. The UN did not ORDER us to defend Kuwait.
