Slip-slidin' away...
(Yawn)
There werea multitude of reasons to go to war.
First among them was no compliance with terms for
our ceasing conflict in the first one.
Those terms were set by the U.N. and it was up to the U.N. to determine if
the
violation of those terms was cause for military action. It is not OK for
the
U.S. or any other nation to unilaterally decide that a U.N. resolution has
been
violated and take military action based on said U.N. resolution.
There was no unilateral decision.
I suppose getting England to go along with us makes that true technically. I
think it is fair to say that the U.S. decision to invade Iraq was unilateral.
We did not look for permission from any other country. We were happy to have
England join us but I think it is fair to say we did not rely on their aproval
of the decision.
