Thanks EEE. And now, the weather.

I think that the "We Got Him!" argument comes from a population that does not understand the law.  (not that I do...)  But there are certain reasons you get to go to war LEGALLY.  Just because it's a damn good reason, is not a LEGAL reason to go to war.  If "a damn good reason" were a legal pathway to legal violence, then I contend that I should have been able to fire a rocket up the tailpipe of the bastard in the Pearl Lincoln earlier today who cut me off and almost forced me into a ditch. 

The icky part of this whole thing is that the rationale behind the decision for a declaration of war didn't hold water.  It was illegal.  (this is where my knowledge of law gets fuzzy)  Personally, I think words like "War Crimes" apply here.  And when we talk about Genocide, does that include blowing up lots of Iraqis?
