I must have missed the point at which Iraq went back into Kuwait... No you didn't. That wasn't part of the argument, but rather a straw man that you found convient to knock down. c'mon, it's rather a thin straw and it doesn't make it legal, moral or honourable. Its not that thin at all. We stopped the war under the understanding that Iraq would have to live up to certain obligations. Enforcing the agreement isn't a violation of Iraq's sovereignty. Iraq ceeded that much of its sovereignty when it made the agreement. Now if removing an agressive dictator was an immoral and dishonorable act, this technical pseudo legal justification (I say pseudo legal because there is no real law between nations, but if there was the agreement would be the legal justification) would not make it moral and honorable. If for example Iraq was a peace loving democracy that posed no current or likely future threat to anyone then the war would be immoral even if it was technically justified. Tim
