Get over it. The war happened. There was an extensive public debate about it beforehand and our Congressional representatives voted to allow it. During the last election, Democrats campaigned on the war being wrong and I certainly believe everyone who was opposed to the war voted against Bush. Yet Bush won re-election.

Bush is not going to be impeached - for one thing, his party controls Congress. No matter how long antiwar folks continue to whine that the war was illegal, Bush is not going to be hauled in front of some int'l tribunal and condemned as a war criminal. He will retire from office after his second term and likely give his blessing to the next President.

Clinton drove conservatives nutty during the 1990's. Now Bush is driving the liberals mad.

PS I read the first couple sentences you wrote and realized I just no longer have any interest in reading anymore antiwar arguments about a war which has already happened. Got any opinions about the war of 1812? If so they're now as relevant as your opinions about the Iraq wr.
Regardless of what you think about the war, it is irrelevant now.

below the range of Iraq's anti-aircraft guns?


I don't think there is any evidence that Saddam fired on British or American planes. All of the responses were from the Iraq radar being turned on, or locked on, but not from missles being fired.
