Korean War, Bosnia, Kosovo, Second Congo War, etc.

There are more, but I can't remember them off the top of my head, and I need to double-check some of them first. But there are occasions when the UN will use military means to get the results they want. They do have an army, in a loose sense of the word I think, after all. Although, it's not a recommended course of action in any circumstances.

I'm more angry at Blair than Bush. There were massive protests here against Britain entering the war, but the PM didn't listen. if he had, then perhaps Bush would not have had the confidence to go to war alone. Plus he's installed a wealth of new draconian reactionary anti-terror laws, to curtail personal freedoms in some ill-concieved attmept to appear to be doing something following the bombings in London. Bush isn't quite such a problem. At least he needs the support of Congress to take the US to war. Blair can declare war on his own initiative.
