When George W went against the UN and invaded Iraq, he set the stage for these kinds of things.
Now the UN is speaking to Russia, and guess what, they don't have to listen because the US did the same exact thing when it came to Iraq. Its absolutely hypocritical thinking that Russia should comply when the US snubbed the UN over Iraq. It's no different. We told the world to fuck off when it came to Iraq, and guess what, now Russia is telling the world to fuck off when it comes to Georgia.
As an American, that's the first thing that came to my mind. Don't be surprised if you see the same thing from other countries. When a permanent member ignores the UN, it takes a lot of credibility away. One of the many terrible things George W can put under his accomplishments.
