The UN is voting on a new resolution, which will probably be really "symbolic" and "meaningful" but not actually "do" anything. It'll be great stuff and you can see it on msn live video. Personally, I'm happy for Iraq that the UN is getting involved, but sad that the UN folded so easily. They seem to just have accepted what happened on the ground in Iraq as unchangable and are going to jump on the fix-iraq bandwagon. What will this tell a war-mongering Bush administration? That it's ok to go against the rest of the UN because they'll all just come back around to sanction it later? Or is the UN telling the US that they failed and need UN support to prevent a total disaster with the occupation?
