Sorry, but even Hans Blix disagrees with you.
Read my previous post, the US did not allow the inspections to continue. That is the crux of the problem, the US had no authority to invade prior to completion of the inspection. If the inspections were complete then an invasion was legit, w/o it it was not. You can cite "other" violations - however the UN and its members (and the US) agreed to inspections - then the US pulled the rug out under the previously agreed to inspectors and hollered "VIOLATIONS"...that was just a means to an end - INVASION. No legitimate right to invade, even on violations previously, since the UN in its entirety amended the resolutions to include a one last inspection before jumping the gun. We unilaterally pre-empted what the UN intended.
