Exactly, but it was still a "war of choice." We didn't wait for the world court to decide, and we didn't start w/ sanctions. Even then there was "collateral damage," while the enemy continued to brag about high morale even one week before we took Kabal.

You are revising history. The US was very well supported by 1) direct ties between Afghanistan rulers and their guests, perpetrators of 9/11 and 2) the world community. Even today, there is never an issue of NATO pulling from Afhanistan. Furthermore, bush was very reluctant to enter Afghanistan, and for a long pre-amble period gave the Taliban lots of opportunities to turn over OBL and his co-cohorts. In the end, the war was very limited angagement for America, and it was largely fought by the northern alliance with arial support from us.

Of course, all that would be thrown out the window if someone turned up a smoking gun connecting Saddam to 9/11.

That would have been self defense. What's your point here?
