Here is a list of UN resolutions that Israel has not complied. As far as I know they have ignored every single resolution.

Cool, but we haven't gone to war with Israel so this is where the comment, "It's the UN's responsibility to enforce resolutions" comes into play.
The only reason I needed and got was that Saddam was not compliant with the terms of the cease fire agreement from Desert Storm.

W. did what needed to be done, though i don't agree with how he actually went about it, it doesn't change the fact that we owed it to them in the name of all who were slaughtered because Poppy didn't support them in the overthrow.

His son cleaned up his mess, and i thank him for seeing it through.

That has to be one of the most ironic statements that I've seen in a while. For fuck's sake, how can anybody claim that Iraq has been cleaned up? Eighty + people died in a terror attack today, from the terrorists that came there after us....
