Except, we DID try to follow the rules. The French had flat stated they would veto any UN resolution that would lead to the use of force. We tried playing it nice, for MONTHS. MANY months.
I tend to be lawful-good, too, but sometimes you gotta get some dirt on the white hat, ya know? I see the UN as the biggest "bad guy" in this thing, to be honest. They bogged down action with beuracracy to the point that they made themselves irrelevant. We have 1.2 BILLION people on our side in this. Granted, the US, UK, and Australians will pay the reaper, but people are on our side. I have to believe that if France hadn't been so...what's the word?...French, then the UN would have moved on this long ago. But they decided to sit on their collective hinies and simper about semantics. Someone had to act. I would have preferred UN backing, but the UN is all but irrelevant at this point, anyway. And they proved that themselves
