Ok, but he did a lot of things illegally. His whole reign was a torment. We can’t go into every totalitarian country and make it right. He has to have either attacked us or we have knowledge that he will attack us. That’s how the rules work. I mean, for the U.S. to go a war.
No, not in his case. After the first Gulf War, he signed a cease-fire that gave us the right to resume hostilities if he smuggled in weapons like he did. Iraq was like a parolee, and did not have the same rights as other nations.
