George Will argues that reliance on U.N. means and a punitive need for a proven smoking gun delays action against Iraq. He warns that invoking the U.N. as sole legitimator risks global inertia while geopolitical power shifts and rhetoric shape public opinion. He cites Churchill and U.N. failures as context.
