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.


30 countries invaded Iraq? I know of two, the U.S. and England. Please
feel
free to cite the other 28.


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.










Balony. Many countries did not agree with us. Have you forgeotten why
people
poured out expensive French wine that had already been payed for and
started
serving "freedom fries?" We did what we did regardless of what other
countries
thought. The decision for the U.S. to invade Iraq was clearly a unilateral
decision.

So the coalition of countries that support us there are an illusion?
