One does not have to comply with UN resolutions to conduct nuclear tests,
only the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, since testing is no crime. On the other
hand, invading a country is.

Actually, it isn't. A crime, that is.

By the way... the US invasion of Iraq was justified under UN
resolutions, since the *previous* war was stopped by a cease fire with
the condition that Iraq fully comply with inspections.

They didn't, and we resumed the previous war. They should have followed
the agreement.

Even the UN is not entitled to OK an aggression, only action in
self-defence or support of an aggrived side some aggressor (e.g.
Desert Storm in 1991).

The current war, of course, is just Phase 2 of that war.
