It's time for the UN Security Council to live up to its responsibilities and take a stand. It's time for the UN Security Council to tell the United States of America to get nicked.

The United Nations must take leadership now and accept the will of the majority of the people of the world - that there is no case for a US-led military invasion of Iraq. The draft resolution currently before the UNSC authorising the use of force against Iraq must be defeated. The United States and its bizarrely-titled "Coalition of the willing" must accept whatever decision is forthcoming.
