I think mostly the real charges are "He's a bad, bad, ba-ad man' and 'BUSH BAD! BUSH BAD!', although I could be mistaken.
For the word ba-ad, pronounce as though bleating like a sheep.

Yes that is correct. Its illegal (or against USA prior doctrins) for USA to invade any nation as first strike. Iraq did nothing to us, they were not the cause of 9/11 or Pearl Harbor either.

Its illegal (or against USA prior doctrins) for USA to invade any nation as first strike. Iraq did nothing to us, they were not the cause of 9/11 or Pearl Harbor either.
And the US has repeatedly attacked other countries that took action against US interests.
- Panama
- Vietnam
- North Korea
- Germany (twice)
- Grenada
- Iraq (twice)
- Italy
- Serbia
None of them had invaded or attacked the US. German attacks on US shipping early in WW1 and WW2 were sanctioned under international law as that shipping was providing aid to an enemy of Germany and therefore fair game (in fact the very act of sending those shipments could be construed an act of war by the US against Germany, depending on interpretation of international law as it stood at the time)
and that's just the ones I can remember right away.
All US law states is that the president cannot initiate armed conflict with another nation unless in defense of US interests (which are rather broadly defined, including for example all of NATO) without first consulting with congress.
And that happened.
As to the current situation in Iraq, the US intervention there was in accordance with the terms of the 1991 ceasefire agreement in which Iraq was obliged to give full cooperation to UN arms inspectors and all member nations had the obligation to ensure such cooperation was received.
When Iraq threw out the inspectorate in 1995 the US (and indeed any member nation capable) was obliged under their treaty obligations to use force to ensure inspections could resume.
The US (under Clinton) failed to meet their treaty obligations. It took the US 8 years until Bush finally got his act together and did the necessary, which turned out to be removing Saddam from power and installing a legitimate, democratically elected, government.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
