In reply to the discussion: Washington BOWS before only ONE God, [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)28. Wrong,
I believe that the war was illegal because we invaded a sovereign nation that was not a threat to us making it not "just", immoral and illegal. Congress voted to let an idiot use our military to kill possibly a million people including hundreds of thousands of innocent children. Congress abdicated their responsibility because they were cowards and used the transparent lies of Georgie as their excuse.
...every Senator believed that Iraq was moving toward WMD, even Russ Feingold.
You cannot claim that Congress declared war and then call it illegal. You would be able to claim it's immoral, but not illegal.
Congress has the power to declare war, and given the faulty evidence presented, they acted.
Bush further lied and ignored the parameters of the IWR.
Your main purpose here seems to be to give Bush a pass.
