"O Urges Action, But No Decision Made From U.N. Meeting on N. Korea Launch"

President Obama, faced with his first global security crisis, called for an international response and condemned North Korea for threatening the peace and stability of nations "near and far."

L.A.W. -- President Obama, we have a tip for you: the U.N. is useless in stopping rogue assholes, as evident by the way Huessin was dealt with for violating Iraq's cease fire agreement to the Gulf War. Sadly, there should never had been an Iraq war. The U.N. council would have told Huessain in very clear terms: you started wars with Egypt, Iran, and Kuwait and are responsible for the loss of millions of lives as a direct result of your aggression and you have destroyed billions in property. If you do not allow U.N. inspectors to do their work per the cease fire declaration agreement, we will resume war within 24 hours. Period. Instead, the French protected their investment in Iraq, as did the Germans and the U.S. was left with the dirty work of calling a mad-man's bluff. Oh how we forget the technical and well documented REASONS, plural, for going to war in Iraq. L.A.W. says if the Germans or Japanese in 1946 decided to pull this to the U.S., Russia, Brittain and other allies, we never would have allowed it to happen.
