<<Iraq did invade Kuwait.>> After Saddam pleaded with his 'friends' in Washington(fell on deaf ears) to stop the Kuwaitis from slant drilling and stealing iraqi oil.

<<Iraq does try to arm itself with weapons of mass destruction>> So does Pakistan. Actually, they now have nukes. So does France. France blew tested a few years ago here in the Pacific. New Zealand protested heavily as did many S. Pacific nations...all to no avail. French commandos sank a protestors' ship right in a New Zealand harbor!

<<Iraq does murder the Kurds.>> So does Turkey, but they're our allies.

What law or perceived morality gives us the right to meddle in Iraq's internal affairs(I agree the situation there is sick)? How would we react if Iraq put a 'no fly' zone over most of the United States?
