"We know he has them, we just have to catch him with them, thats the tough bit because we know he keeps moving them" - Hanz Blix (it has been proved extensively that those WMD never existed in the first place; Blix later stated that Washington and it's allies over dramatized the threat possibility, and assumed the whole story lacked foundation and solid evidence; US government ended up stating "just because we found nothing doesn't mean there was nothing"; draw your own conclusions really...)
Sadam was a despot murderous monster (put and maintained in charge by the US) that killed thousands of people (with backup of US), not only in his own country but in neigbouring countries because he didnt like their culture or religion (and because US gave him the means and support), the nation he controlled lived under the heel of his boot and he wasnt afaid to crush his people (nor of his neighboring countries because US had his back) and did so on many occasions. (with complacency of US/UN)
Its sad that the US didnt want to wait for the UN (not the saddest part from US on this though), but Sadam is gone and the country is now free (and in ruins and plundered of natural resources, plus enslaved on external debt) to start again as it was supposed to when Saddam was empowered in the first place to fight off Iran.(do you even know the first thing on Iraq-Iran war???)

i'm sorry, i don't want to antagonize you, but you display the utmost ignorance on a real sensitive issue like war; wake up to reality, the US intervention was a crime, lots of civilians died for nothing, they created the situation and later dealt with it on its own terms and agenda, acting only for US's leader elite interests, most ppl know about this, that's why US's image abroad is so degraded. it's well known US's main business is war, they just need some excuse every now and then to wage it. US's main industry is arms production, that must keep flowing; after all, if no one's fighting who'd be buying?
about the legal aspect of a war, it would be important to know who's casting judgement on this and on what terms; we have been lied over and over again by our leaders, as we where with the WMD and many other excuses before.
above all, i don't care if it's illegal or not as much as if it's right or not. legality is also a form of bureaucracy and is as corruptible as anything else. death penalty is legal on some places; i don't care about that, for me it's wrong plain and simple, not an issue that 'legality' can whitewash.
