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.

30 countries is not 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.


Because they and the others agreed with us.
