The UN can't do jack about it. In one full swoop America made the UN explicitly irrelevant (it was always irrelevant, but now it's clear for everybody to see).

No declaration of war was needed because the first gulf war never ended, we were just in a period of cease fire. Of course, during that cease fire Saddam saw fit to regularly shoot at our military with his toys. IMHO, that's enough reason to go take his ass out.
