Not to be taken seriously? Well, it's not funny, and the premise is pure bullshit.

But I thought many of our allies, including Israel, were in violation of more security council resolutions than Iraq.

Oh, really, so why not name one?
Not that I care about UN, but this is bullshit and so is the rest.

Well, the joke is on incoherence of pro-war argument. By mixing several pro-war arguments, the author present pro-war person as schizophrenic. But actually, these are arguments from different people. It would be easy but boring to create similarly schizophrenic list of anti-war arguments.

Here is why I said not too seriously: this is obviously not an actual dialogue, but a representation of one in the head of, er, whoever put it together. By reading it, one cannot follow a discourse between the pro-war and anti-war camps, but can study the internal thinking of a reluctant person. The arguments and the dialogue are in his head only.

I thought this was instructional. Educational. And funny as such.
