When are Americans not involved with NATO actions? You literally said nothing with that first statement.
The UN is the UN. This current administration would have done the same thing even if Jesus Christ himself were heading up the UN in 2003. The facts remain that the intelligance which came out of the DOD was wrong...no 'yellowcake,' no WMD', curveball was extremely unreliable as a source, and there was NO link between Al Quida and Saddam (read Baker/Hamilton). So, the UN was right and was exactly on point with what needed to be done and what they were doing. The UN was thrown to the side in order to get a war that Wolfowitz and Cheney really wanted.
