Seems to me that they haven't stood in our way all that often when we decided to bomb the shit out of someone. While I think that it was ludicrous to ask the world to go to war over fake WMDs...I don't think that it would have been impossible to get them to agree to regime change based upon factual information.
Kosovo is my shit, btw, cut my teeth. KFOR 4 Life!
There's a distinct line between being able to drum the world to war and that being justified. The distinction being made right after WWII and instantly forgotten in the cold war.
I'm talking about just wars as opposed to aggressive wars and enforcing interests. Including regime changes, as 1953 in Iran, 1973 in Chile or the attempt at the Sandinistas by financing and supporting the Contras, who were much worse than Ortega's regime could ever dream to be.
