Our Congress gave legal power to our President to go to war against Iraq
Based on consciously falsified evidence, as is amply proved by now. If the US had functioning democracy and rule of law, somebody would have been held responsible.
But beyond that, waging war against country that had no intention of attacking the US is a war crime, if that term has any meaning at all.
That enforcement fully justifies the invasion of Iraq under international law.
I am sure the Chancellor of Germany obtained all required authorization before endeavoring to defend legal rights of Sudet Germans, persecuted by Poland. It was humanitarian intervention, too.
From my private standpoint, Saddam’s genocidal domestic policies and sponsorship of international terrorism had the same effect.
In that case, I assume you are going to speak out in favour of bombing Saudi Arabia (financing Sept. 11) and Pakistan (creating the Taliban and selling nuclear weapons blueprints)
