On that IBC page was, among other things, this little thing:



Wow you're pathetic. Went picking through that site to find a sub-stat indicating violence isn't on a serious down trend. And, doing that while tens of thousands of American are leaving, not there any more to help protect Iraq. Look at the whole picture, if you can.

You can mumble about UN Security Council and whatnot all you want.



You were the idiot who brought up the war being 'illegal'. Where do you think that whole legality debate comes out of? Are you under the impression the US government is supposed to travel to the Netherlands and get you guys approval? And, if we don't the war is "illegal"?

That whole legality debate you brought up is over the UN charter.

It's still wrong on more than one level: you were invading another sovereign nation.



You brought up the "morality of war" thing in your last post. I was going to skip it because explaining complex issues to you is obviously more than you can handle. But, from a very simplistic approach, that maybe you can grasp, you can pretty much assume war is morally wrong. Picking up a gun and shooting somebody is wrong. "Turn the other cheek" is the ideal Jesus preaches. But, people have come to accept the idea that sometimes it's necessary to fight. And, when you read about the politics behind wars, that's the question they ask, "was it necessary?". Not just only, "was a country invaded?".
