Can China legally and morally attack the U.S. using the same argument? The U.S. publicly states its dislike for communist China.

Richard J -- Preemption was precisely the reason the Bush Administration gave for attacking IRAQ. That they had WMD and we had to strike them preemptively before they could use WMD on us, that Iraq was an "imminent threat" etc. etc blah blah blah.
Well, at least that was the reason they gave until they changed it.
Of course you probbaly believe that Saddam was responsible for 9/11.

Some pretty big words in here pardners'
I somehow think that taking on 1 billion chicken da chinas is not a great idea as suggested by our Jamie S
...S for suicide?
China has a few good things going on and so does Russia..take a look at how fast thier economies are growing..frightning stuff.
Suppose all these " Insignificants" were to say..ohhh i don't know...band together in a few years..I somehow don't think any amount of technology is going to stop all those forces from at least 3 countries AND whoever wants to put in thier 2 cents worth from coming over the borders and making The U and S of the A wish we had a few more Taco's to help out with the pow wow.
But coming back to your question I am however not a lawyer Sir and neither am i familiar with international laws..all i know is that the U.S seems to make it's own. I must stress for all those who are probably at this point in time wondering if I am Muslim or Chinese I am neither..I am but a lowly African who has observed current evens extensively enough have formed his OWN opinion. Yes I have one too.
So God bless the world and lead us not into temptation of W.W.3

The war in Iraq was based on a lie. Therefore it cannot be legal in any way. The president is a war criminal and should be tried for it. He took us to war for no good reason other then personal gain. He is responsible for everything that happened in the war including 2600 plus of our people and 10's of thousands of Iraqi that have died based on a lie. He is responsible for his troops getting out of hand and raping and killing a 14 year old girl and her family. Bush should hang for that one.

No. France even said they wouldn't support his lame evidence without further investigation or more proof that Iraq was responsible for 9/11. France was right. The Bush supporters were wrong. Remember freedom fries? How stupid are Bush supporters to call French Fries freedom fries?

Anytime a country attacks another country before it attacks is called pre-emptive. Yes, because the US attacked a sovereign country without provocation making the US a war crimes State.

Technically, no. It was a continuation of the first gulf war. We had a 10 year cease fire for Saddam to get in line and he didn't. And given the global threat of terrorism it would've been extremely irresponsible to not enforce the terms of the cease-fire.
