It is a rare day when the U.S. doesn't get what it wants in the security council.
Let's take Libya . . . it's a pretty hard sell to go out and say we're taking a guy out because he keeps talking about an African Union, an African currency and Africa's version of the Federal Reserve, and that he's got embarrassing information on the President of France. The situation requires that you conjure up human rights abuses to justify the actions you're going to take. Of course those actions were the totally unnecessary overthrow of a sovereign nations government and subsequently thrusting that country into a civil war and a failed state, now into its second decade. Not to mention the need to question why we overthrew a leader whose military was fighting AQNA . . . I suppose it's hard to ship freedom fighters to Syria when that pesky Libyan gov't keeps getting in the way.
It was a war in the Balkans, the other side killed lots of Serbs and put lots of Serbs into concentration camps as well. I can't imagine why the Serbs held a grudge for so many years. Might have something to do with Kosovo-Muslims joining the Waffen SS 30,000 strong . . . but again, Serbia did not attack NATO. Thus the actions undertaken by Clinton at the behest of his wife violated the NATO charter. Iran was flooding the region with weapons and Jihadists. It's so weird how you guys pick and choose when Jihad is good and when its bad . . .
I just looked at the command structure of Operation Iraq Freedom - US/NATO member states and ANZUS dominated.
