Devil,
I think you will find that that the war was entered into illegally under international law.
Therefore anything that takes place in an illegal war is by definition illegal.

It's your kind of arrogance which has taken over America and all the good it stood for. And it's precisely this kind of cocky arrogance which will lead to the fall of America as a super power. It's never really other countries which cause the fall of a particular super power or empire - It's always the own actions of that super power / empire which leads to its own fall. It seems to me like you have watched to much hollywood - particularly "Rambo". Believe me when I say that the real world is quite different, even though some of your fellow Americans who are in power today are riding a short-lived wave of illusions that they are living the "Rambo dream". It's not going to be painless when you wake up to reality.

The President of the United States has a Constitutional right to declare war on any country with the authorization of Congress. That means more to me than some ridicules rules made up by the U.N., who were getting blood money from Iraq. We go tot he U.N. to ask for support of the war NOT for permission.

What is with this Imperialist BS. Having bases in a sovern and democratic country is Imperialism to you?
So America's laws over-ride all other laws that have been put down to stop illegal practices? Don't forget that the US was an equal partener when the UN was set up, it has to play by the rules as everyone else does or why bother having rules? Even if this was true (which it quite clearly isn't) is it legal to lie to Congress?
Its a clear example of a country excerting its power overseas... They are there for a reason, and in this example, they are used to protect America and its interests...
Guantanamo Bay is an example, its to keep the Commies in check, and store your criminals where they are not protected by any American laws... Real democratic, what right does the US have to be in Cuba!?!?

I agree with skippytjc to a certain extent...
I beleive that Israel will play quite a big role in this invasion, but I beleive that US Soldiers will play an equal role in the ground invasion, maybe even more so, considering the fact that as soon a Palastine finds out that Israel is attacking another Arab state, tempers will probably flair up again...
Who will your enemy be then? Who will you be able to blame then? Who will help you after earthquakes then? When the US falls, the entire world will collapse not because of arrogance, but because we are all connected to each other.

hey Bill tell that to the Russians, they got more WMDs then we do which makes us very envious since the politicians are cutting our own stockpiles of WMD

Bill thinks that we should destroy our stockpiles but he never mention how other countries should do with theirs. Gotta be more realistic here people.
