On the Korean issue, as much as I deny (and always denied) there was any UN legitimation for war against Iraq, as much I think that current UN decision status is sufficient to stop NK ships and search them.

Not that I give much about an UN legitimiation in this case, since this is about fighting nuclear proliferation - and this represents a line in the sand where my patience with bureaucratic games and procedures end. The Israeli air strike on Syria that destroyed - most likely NK-delivered - secret nuclear installations in Syria also was not backed by the UN: and I do not care a second for that.
