This is a question that historians are going to be writing about for centuries to come... if our planet last that long.
Of course, the war in Iraq is illegal and immoral. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that.
The problem is that most Americans don't want to believe that they have supported, funded with their tax dollars and flat believed in a war that has killed 600,000+ civilians. They can't...
You see, the human mind can only handle so much guilt. I guess I am saying that most ppl actually have a 'need' to believe it was for a just cause.
Put it this way, say a guy came to you very excited and confident that in 1 week the family next door was going to blow up your house. Say he went on and on about how he heard this and saw the bombs they had etc...
So, you said ok go get him and here is some money to go buy the weapons you need to get him out.
The next day the guy raids the neighbors house, captures him but in the process he kills 3 of the man's kids and his wife.
When all the dust has settled, come to find out, the neighbor was just a bad husband, bad father and a jerk but had no weapons, no plan to attack you and was no threat to anyone.
Now, how would you feel?
Would you be sick to your stomach? I would.
Would you regret it? I would.
Would you be rethinking your decision? I would.
Would you wish you had gotten more evidence? I would.
Would you wish you had waited and not felt so rushed? I would.
And the question that answers your question is:
Would you tell yourself, "... but I did what I thought was right at the time."
Get it?
That is what the mind must do and say to itself to handle such atrocities.
Does it excuse it? No
Does it justify it? No
Does it make it right? No
Should you be punished? Yes

the three open interests have been to locate WMDs, kill or grab Saddam and to establish democracy in Iraq. Now did they arrive across WMDs ?

Democracy in Iraq ? on an analogous time as human beings being killed day by day and u . s . a . in a great quantity, the muse of democracy has a miles flung probability to take a kind. for this reason this function could be no longer a threat. With maximum of conspiracies to the credit of CIA, it relatively is not very unbelievable that the relatively interests of the conflict have been unique from what have been propagated in the process the U.

There is really no way to know, So many hidden agendas on both sides of the equation with so little hard evidence. Lots of propaganda, and lots of people buying into it, from either prospective. But I can tell you this, there are a lot of people talking about this mythical moderate Muslim, You can not subscribe to a faith that teaches kill the infidels, and considers anyone not of that faith an infidel, and be moderate.

No. The UN General Assembly is unwise & immoral. It should be illegal.

Its not really immoral but definitely illegal. There is not, nor ever will be, a declaration of war as required by the Constitution because the criminal GWB could never get one even from the criminal Republican congress.

Yes it is. We have no business in Iraq. All of the arguments that promote being there in the first place are bogus. Saddam didn't have weapons of mass destruction and even if he did, what about all these other countries who do have them? You don't see us thumping their heads. We don't go after them because they don't have oil!!!! It's all about that dollar. Greed has murdered many people including soldiers and citizens in Iraq. May they rest in peace.

EDIT:
To the guy above me YES every single Republican Senator voted for the Lie in Iraq only Chafe voted no. There were 23 Democratic "NO" VOTES...This party line vote with the same mentality took place in the house..But the overwhelming "Yes Mr.President" came from the ranks of his Own party.

Don't forget expensive, pointless, and counter-productive even as an anti-terrorism measure.
