UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States and its allies are expected to face opposition from Russia and China in the U.N. Security Council for targeted sanctions to pressure government, militia and rebel forces to end the bloodshed in Sudan’s Darfur region.

This is the same Security Council that’s supposed to be the locus of the world’s collective interest and whose approval is supposedly required for any military action to be legitimate. (Anyone remember Kosovo 1999?)
