The aim of the United States in this Iraq situation is to test the mettle of the United Nations. As it stands today, the United States is the only big kid on the block. The Cold War is over. There is no one nation powerful enough to keep the US in check.
BushCorp, the conglomerate now running the United States wants to manage the world’s policing force, the UN. Right now the US sees the UN Security Council and the UN arms inspectors as stumbling blocks in it’s planned invasion of Iraq. If a final UN judgement runs counter to the professed BushCorp strategy and the US unilaterally attacks Iraq, what is there to stop any further US pre-emptive attacks? The US will in effect be above or outside of the law…Scary…but so it goes.
