Its funny, the whole UN thing. Why did they not care that Saddam was hiding (or least acting like he was) things that we now seem to think were not WMD??? Did the UN forget their own resolutions regarding a failure to comply in allowing inspectors to look at EVERYTHING???
And about this ILLEGAL this and ILLEGAL that; what are you talking about? What law says a country can't defend themselves? If a nation saw an enemy army marching towards its borders, the first nation would probably work to preempt said army before it could damage the first nations property, correct? And while the situation in Iraq did not have that same immediate-ness quality, I believe it was reasonable to suspect (from Iraqi unwillingness to cooperate and from past expressions of having no love for the USA) that Iraq was working towards, if it did not have, WMDs and that it would use them against the US, either directly or indirectly. There's the added bonus that Saddam was a terrible leader, maybe a Nasser-Hitler cross. I just to see why everybody else is crying so hard over his removal, I guess.
