"what we're doing in iraq right now is without the support
and involvement of the international community. we've
ignored and skirted international law, denied due process
of law to the accused and acted on our own outside of the
international community in a matter that clearly belongs
in international hands."

That's an old & thoroughly discredited argument. You may
wish to cling to this misguided & inaccurate belief, but it
won't change reality.

Bottom line - Iraq was repeatedly in violation of the Gulf
War cease fire agreement - the resumption of hostilities
was clearly legal - that doesn't even consider the 17 UN
resolutions leading up to resolution 1441 that clearly drew
the line in the sand & opened the door to the removal of
that horrific regime.

Hell, France, Germany, Russia & China all tried this ploy
before the war, but we now know they had skeletons in their
closet that they didn't want revealed when overthrew Iraq.
Illegal weapons sales, illegal service & maintenance
contracts of Iraq's military, illegal contracts worth
billions, illegally provided intelligence, etc., etc.

You don't see any of these countries going to the UN to
sanction the US with your oh so thoroughly discredited
argument, do you?
