UN is not perfect but it is what we have.
Or we let NATO,China and Russia decide what is moral or not, what is legal or not. I give you that with the NATO involvement in Yugoslavia, it was not a knife but a machete in the contract.
At least, the French Parliament did vote to send troops in Iraq (Kuwait). To be fair, I agreed with the vote.
I am not sure it was the right move anymore... Do we have to help dictatorships invaded by other dictatorships?
