"Or else, we will be very, very angry with you, and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are."
What else do you expect the UN to do? It’s not the world police or world government. It’s just a debate forum where all the nations’ diplomats can safely talk to each other. And it does some humanitarian work. The UN’s authority only extends as far as the nations allow it to go. And the world powers sure as hell won’t give it military authority over themselves.
The UN didn’t find WMDs and reported it. It’s up to the nations what they do with that information. The rest of the developed world should have sanctioned the US. Yet many followed the US into the war like a lapdog.
Notably, Canada declined to join the invasion of Iraq, and faced a lot of criticism from the U.S. for doing so. PM Jean Cretien of the Liberal party was in charge at the time.
Yeah, unofficial word on the Canada 'briefing' was that the US 'PowerPoint' to going to war in Iraqi was a lazy and stupid presentation that didn't impress anyone.
