Answer's for the Anti War Crowd?

Was this an illegal war?

Every week the moonbats lie, they lie daily about this being an illegal war!

It was not!

While it is true Kofi Annan wanted the USA and its Allies to go to the UN Secuirty Counsil, that in it self does not make the war illegal!

Why?

The coalition action against Saddam Hussein was not a violation of the
United Nations Charter and is not a violation of international law according
to United Nation's Security Council resolutions 678, 687 and 1441.


Resolution 678 was passed shortly after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in
1990.

This resolution orderd Saddam to withdraw his troops from Kuwait and
to recognize the pre-established international border between Iraq and
Kuwait.

Resolution 678 also says that "any member state can use military
force to enforce the requirements of this resolution" or any subsequent
resolution dealing with Saddam.

Both resolution 687 and 1441 make specific reference to and reaffirm
Resolution 678.

The United States and Great Britain, both being member
states of the United Nations, are completely within their legal rights to
use military force against Iraq and Saddam Hussein to enforce the provisions of Resolution 1441.

Also as a note very few wars have been fought according to international law ?


Should we pull out of Iraq?

Most Americans (54%) believe that withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq will make things worse in that troubled nation. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 20% disagree and say that troop withdrawal will make things better. These numbers are identical to the results of our August survey.

Republicans, by a 78% to 10% margin, say that withdrawing troops from Iraq would make things worse in that county. Democrats are evenly divided on the question, with 30% of Harry Reid's party saying the troop withdrawal would make things better and 33% taking the opposite view.

As for those not affiliated with either major party, 49% say withdrawing troops now would make the situation worse. Twenty percent (20%) of unaffiliateds say bringing U.S. troops home would improve the situation in Iraq.

A measure of the country's polarization concerning Iraq is that Republicans overwhelmingly view the U.S. troops as a liberating army. Democrats, by a 2-to-1 margin, see the U.S. forces as an occupying army. Unaffiliateds are evenly divided.

Overall, 35% say that the U.S. forces in Iraq are an occupying force. Forty-four percent (44%) view them as a liberating force.
