Hang on, what you've said above is that international approval is more important than doing the right thing?
If removing a dictator was opposed by the majority of the UN, you'd be against it yes? That's what you've said.
However, if they all changed their mind, you'd suddenly be for it?
You'll also support GW1 yet when actions occur which negate the ceasefire, you then don't support the continuation of GW1.
