too late..its been said by the media more than once so know his turn of phrase and any of his actual meaning is history...this war was illegal...FACT.
now, how do i put this gently. When you quote somoene and then put years after them..that indicates WHEN THEY LIVED i.e. Megara, 1983-. That means i was born in 1983, and i am still living. the United nations wasnt around in 1917.
You want to implicate the whole west for complicity in heinous actions when that isnt nearly the case in most instances. Do you think the west giving saddam chemical weapons(or the compounds to build them) was negligence or complicity on the wests part??
i hate to be an ass, but regardless of whether or not the war was illegal, what is the UN going to do about it? put sanctions on us? most of their military force comes from the US. and besides, international law is irrelevant so long as you win. vae victus... (I'm not saying the war is right or anything... )
