    Iraqi no-fly zones

    'While the enforcing powers had cited United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 as authorizing the operations, the resolution contains no explicit authorization. The Secretary-General of the UN at the time the resolution was passed, Boutros Boutros-Ghali called the no-fly zones "illegal" in a later interview with John Pilger'

    its all a matter of interpretation. the US, UK, and France saw the no fly zones as a way to enforce 688. no surprise you would agree with anyone who doesnt follow their interpretation. but I guarantee you would if it fit your agenda.
