Brian > Why no mention by the left that Saddam also broke international law when he took over through a coup?

I wouldn't say he broke international law. His coup was only in Iraq and it affected only Iraqis.

> As it would be impossible to remove millions of people from under a bad leader, we should remove the parent(leader) if he/she is working against the people in an egregious manner.

And where is it so written? And, anyway, even if you have a gang of "willing" nations, does that mean it was right to remove Saddam? Is it right to remove Mugabe? Or Chirac? Or, for that matter, any leader "we" don't like? I would say to do so is more the rule of the jungle than the rule of law.
