I agree with Floyd 100 percent. But, we must follow international laws and any decision to invade Iraq must come from Security Council. Either Bush or Blair does not have legitimate right, under international laws and prevailing international political culture, to invade Iraq. There is no question that Saddam is an evil and he must be dealt accordingly. But, we must not start a tradition where a stronger country can go and invade a smaller country at will without any regard of international law. UN charter is more important than Bush or Blair’s foreign policy objectives. I will not have any problem going to war if UN says it OK. We will have chaos all around the globe if bigger countries start to invade smaller or weaker countries. Today, if it’s legitimate for US to invade Iraq, then tomorrow it will be legitimate for China to invade Taiwan or Pakistan, it will be legitimate for Russia to invade Japan, It will be legitimate for India to invade Burma or Bhutan or Sri Lanka. We can not go back to the days of international lawlessness.
