But their actual current actions (or stated intentions) demonstrably aren't. Which punches a big hole in your argument.

No, it punches no such hole. See my response to peter. "Stated intentions" do not constitute actions. Nobody at the U.N. is mad at the U.S. for threatening war. Their opposition is to the actual prospect of war, and their own commitment of troops, resources, whatever. And they're also concerned with maintaining their own self-interest with Iraqi trade agreements and such. The International community passed 1441, and nothing done so far by the U.S. violates 1441. In fact, it's the only thing that's made Iraq fulfill *some* of their obligations stated in 1441.
