Waiting for the UN: The Obama administration embraces international paralysis

John Yoo writes for The Weekly Standard, April 30, 2012

U.S. military strikes could topple Tehran’s close allies in Damascus and destroy the mullahs’ nuclear infrastructure, potentially ushering in more democratic regimes that would be at peace with their neighbors. But instead of seizing the initiative, the White House has wrapped itself in a web of international law and institutions that have brought only paralysis and indecision.
