You could say that as there is no one trying to take TB to court over it, that infact it was a legal action.
How can you say that if it was legal it would have taken place sooner?
Surely you must see that with the democrats in power there was no force willing to enforce the UN resolutions?
They opted to try sanctions and diplomacy (and good on them for trying it for 12 years) but eventually you have two choices, walk away and tell the world we don't give a damn let them do what they like, or up the ante and use force.
As the article asked, if you are anti-war, would you have rather Saddam stayed in power?
Would you rather we turned our backs on Iraq now and pulled everyone out, abandoning them to what ever warlords decide to take control?
