It may have been justifiable but certianly not for the reasons given to the American public. The war is without a doubt completely illegal.
Did you read my post? Here's one of the quotes again. "So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." http://web.archive.org/web/200402042...2003_0123.html Virtually everyone in government leadership thought that America WAS being threatened by Saddam. This wasn't just some big lie by Bush to get even.
We were all fed the same lies man.
