"For the U.N., "aggression" means invasion across national borders. Send Nazi shock troops into Poland — that's aggression. Give sanctuary to thousands of anti-American murderers, as the Taliban did in Afghanistan, that's not aggression."

Well, yes, that is the defintion of aggression. But they are ignoring Security Concil resolution 1368, passed on Sept 12th 2001:
"Calls on all States to work together urgently to bring to justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these terrorist attacks and stresses that those responsible for aiding, supporting or harbouring the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these acts will be held accountable;"
or Resolution 1373:
"Reaffirming further that such acts, like any act of international terrorism, constitute a threat to international peace and security, Reaffirming the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence as recognized by the Charter of the United Nations as reiterated in resolution 1368 (2001),"
and Resolution 1378:
"Condemning the Taliban for allowing Afghanistan to be used as a base for the export of terrorism by the Al-Qaida network and other terrorist groups and for providing safe haven to Usama Bin Laden, Al-Qaida and others associated with them, and in this context supporting the efforts of the Afghan people to replace the Taliban regime,"
in other words, the UN did not try to stop the US action in Afghanistan (ie the one that was actually related to terrorism) at all. It was practically a cheerleader.

"The French in particular benefit from pushing the United States to break the U.N.'s rules"

yeah sure, Chirac hypnotized Bush and used mind control to force him to lose 30 IQ points and lie his arse off about Iraq for 3 years.

Perle and Frum should be put in a class of 7 year olds to relearn basic English. And kindergarten to relearn how to stop acting like spoiled brats.
