1. I will probably be flamed, but I do not think Saddam's invasion of
Kuwait was illegal. There was a dispute between the two nations regarding borders and slant oil drilling. It could have probably been resolved without war in the international courts or UN, but I don't see it as 'illegal'. Shoot, there was even a war between a couple of our states (Ohio and Michigan?) over border disputes.

4. I won't flame you
I think you are right, and the "first" (both are part of the same package) Gulf War was just as bogus and unecessary as the "second".

5. I agree. Saddam's war appeared to have some justification. Bush's had
none. War is usually idiotic from the get-go, of course, and if there weren't money to be made by having wars, these disputes could mostly be settled at a bargaining table.
