Vice-President Cheney still gets cheers when he trots out the line about the United States not needing a 'permission slip' from the UN to attack countries it suspects of evil intentions towards America. The problem that is practically invisible from inside the United States is then that other countries don't need 'permission slips' to invade their neighbours, either. They can just announce that they have uncovered a grave threat to their security in some other country -- they don't actually have to prove it, any more than the United States did -- and then they are free to invade it. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
