the US waited 4 years for the UN to do something. saddam broke the resolution in 1998, its high time we make him pay!

Let's not kid ourselves here, the US really has no interest in the UN or any of its resolutions. it's acting on it's own accord and trying to use the facade of the UN as a cover. it'll listen to the UN when it's convenient and ignore it when it's not.

the media does, you just have to search.

i doubt that. the coverage we get here is much different than the coverage the arab world gets (not that that news reporting is particularly unbiased). plus embedding journalists into military units in its nature causes them to lose their subjectivity.
