John Norton Moore, disagrees... Moore is one of the most preeminent lawyers on national security matters and in international law. How many of those professors have any expertise in this area?

Since Iraq is in violation of the cease-fire agreement of 1991, they are wrong. A factor they no doubt conveniently forgot.

Moore:

"If ultimately the use of force proves necessary to compel Iraq’s acceptance of its Resolution 687 obligations a credible legal argument is also available that the Security Council’s initial authorization in the Gulf War to restore peace and security in the Gulf area has been reinvigorated by Iraq’s failure to comply with its cease-fire obligations originally set by the Council. While a subsequent Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force would supply the legal gold standard for any use of force, it is reasonable to regard Security Council conditions imposed for a cease-fire in the Gulf War as requirements for the maintenance of that cease-fire; and thus material non-compliance with these conditions would rescind the cease-fire itself."
