If Bush is going to go to war unilaterally, illegally and immorally what can we do about it?
Jeremy Brecher has a great idea on how the UN should Unite For Peace.
Resolution 377 provides that, if there is a "threat to peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression" and the permanent members of the Security Council do not agree on action, the General Assembly can meet immediately and recommend collective measures to U.N. members to "maintain or restore international peace and security."
Let's have a vote. Does most of the world think that Iraq should be invaded or not? I'm not sure the US would come out ahead on that vote. They certainly couldn't bribe *all* members of the UN General Assembly like they tried to do with the Security Council.
