You mean if the US enforces the UN Resolutions against Iraq in spite of the UN it suddenly becomes rogue?
How strange.
Btw, I don't recall any UN resolution authorizing the Afghanistan campaign. (Nor the Ivory Coast, but I digress.)
The Ivory Coast is very bad example because the govt of IC invited the French in.
Afghanistan is a bad example because we were attacked first.
There is no resolution authorizing the use of force.
So the "serious consequences" mentioned in the UN Security Council resolution was really referring to more harsh language? Perhaps we could get the French to taunt them? 
(Not to mention that dismantling their WMD program was part of the terms of the cease fire Iraq agreed to. They have been in violation of that cease fire for 12 years now.)
snip Last bit since it wasn't worth addressing
