The fact remains that the resolutions are UN resolutions, not resolutions nor orders of the United States, but of the United Nations. It was not up to Bush nor the United States to declare whether Iraq was in or out of compliance, nor was it up to Bush nor the United States to determine what, if any, penalty would be paid by Iraq if the United Nations ceasefire were deemed broken. At the same time as Bush was in the process of unilaterally breaking agreements he had no right to break, the United Nations under which these agreements were brokered and under whose laws they were set and should be interpreted, called upon the US not to act unilaterally. You may bold your argument all you wish but it does not change the fact: - a multilateral INTERNATIONAL agreement was set - Bush tool UNILATERAL action to break the agreement. This doesn't pass any test of common sense. In the coming years you can be sure that war crimes action will be taken against Bush. Its only a matter of time. I shall make the popcorn.
