True, when Clinton realized Russia and China would veto a resolution calling for intervention, he backed away from the Security Council. However, he did not subsequently piece together a paltry, handpicked caricature of a coalition, as Bush did for the war in Iraq. Instead, he went through another established international organization—NATO.

Is the author suggesting Bush should have gone to NATO like Clintoon? Russia and China aren't in NATO, so NATO was an option for Clintoon. Bush's opponents in the UN were France and Germany, both members of NATO.

If the author really believes that while France and Germany defied us at the UN, they would have happily gone along with a NATO invasion of Iraq, then he's the moron.
