Well, Rene's Das Man (the UN) disagreed with your condemnation of the attack 
on Afghanistan. They also disagreed with what I suspect will be your 
condemnation of the first gulf war. So which one is Das Man, UN #1 or UN #2?

And did you complain when the US threw a few smart bombs at Bosnia (without 
UN approval), or in 1998 when it did the same to Baghdad (without UN 
approval), with the former president citing exactly the same reasons at that 
time as Bush does now, but without being charged with paying Halliburton? 
My, Das Man is so fickle.

And did you complain similarly about the alarming growth of the deficit in 
the first two years of the previous administration, before the opposition 
party swept Congress and the deficit subsequently disappeared?

The above should cause you to reassess who exactly is gullible.
