haha, saying 'i'm gonna kill you' is not a defense for murder, sorry.

It is when we're talking about the rules of war.

The rules of war require a declaration not advance warning afaik. "Hey get ready we're coming!" lol. There's a reason that doesn't happen.

An advance warning of a military attack would make it less serious in the eyes of an internation war crimes tribunal. I'm not talking about what I think is right and wrong here, just my understanding of international law, which admittedly is based on dirty googling, since I'm not educated on such matters.

But either we were provoked enough to justify it or we weren't. I'm glad you seem to agree we weren't.

I don't think Saddam did enough to provoke us into attacking Iraq. I do think he did enough to get dead and me not give a single shit about him.
