Irrefutable proof that Saddam was involved in 9/11.

That he kicked the weapons inspectors out, when he didn't is insufficient reason; that he's not in compliance with a UN Resolution, when others like Israel are as well, is insufficient reason; that he used gas in previous warfare when his warring opponent did as well, is insufficient; that America has to liberate people who've not asked to be liberated is an insufficient reason; that America has unilaterally decided to change governments in the Middle East is also an insufficient reason.

Bush's invasion would be a clear violation of international law. Moreover, he used bogus information, pre-election, in order to convince Democrats to support a resolution favoring military action--this resolution should be immediately rescinded.

Here are the three principles for a just war:

a) Self-defense of one's self or an ally.
b) That all remedies to prevent a war have been exhausted.
c) That the war itself will not cause more harm than not having the war.

The present situation does not fit into any of the above criteria and the very large body of world opinion supports this, as do the governments of most countries on the face of the earth.
