Appreciate that Ken...now we don't have to leave here to go find the article from it's source. We believe that protecting this country from the possibility of an attack utilizing chemical or biological weapons like the anthrax and VX nerve gas which Saddam Hussein has refused to account for is self-defense and does not violate international law. President Bush is on strong legal ground in moving forward now. Notwithstanding all of the above, the United States, which maintains full possession of its sovereignty, may authorize war. This power was exercised in October, when Congress, pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, passed legislation authorizing the use of force against Iraq. The president, who signed this legislation into law, is legally authorized to commence military action against Iraq under Article II of the Constitution. Thus, under international law and pursuant to our own Constitution, the United States is authorized to commence military action against Iraq.
