A war against the sovereign state of Iraq without the express authorization of the UN is illegal under international law. It goes against the UN Charter and against the Resolution 1441.[/b][/color]

I didn't find this in the link you gave us and 1441 refers to the constraints on Saddam Hussein following the cease fire that stopped the first Gulf War, not to the US.
Lies:
"The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program ... Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons." -- President Bush, Oct. 7, 2002, in Cincinnati.
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." -- President Bush, Jan.28, 2003, in the State of the Union address.
"We've learned that Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases ... Alliance with terrorists could allow the Iraqi regime to attack America without leaving any fingerprints." -- President Bush, Oct. 7.
There's many more...
I see. So, when Bill Clinton said it, when Al Gore said it, when John Kerry said it, when Hillary Clinton said it, when virtually every Democrat in the Senate said it, when German intel said it, when British intel said it, when the UN said it, were these lies also?
Their reasoning to go to war with Iraq was a lie. Her son was sent to Iraq for a lie. He died because of their lies.
But you haven't shown us any lies.
Perhaps you should spend some time reading current events from more reliable sources?
Perhaps you should spend some time trying to put a cogent argument together, rather than calling names and making snide remarks.
But you won't explain what is assinine about it.
In your previous post you said,[/color] "[/b]What's
ironic is that after people got tired of hearing her badmouth her own dead son's sacrifice, she switched to the Israeli situation in Gaza and then on to hurricane Katrina."
I personally don't agree with her much on this.
No, you said that it had to do with her son. Don't weasel out now. What do these things have to do with her son?
"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry?
So why isn't she angry at the murderer?
"Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel.
And what does she base this on?
"Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11.
And yet, she says she's not stupid. Hmm...
What Bush's Katrina shows once again is that my son died for nothing. If you listen to Bush and fewer and fewer are, thank goodness -- we are in Iraq in part due to 9/11. All our president has been talking about has been protecting this country since 9/11. That's why people voted for him in the last election. Katrina shows it's all as sham, a fraud, a disaster as large as Katrina itself."
One has nothing to do with the other and she doesn't even attempt to make a connection.
"Hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of innocent lives wasted later what have we achieved? Nothing. Casey died for nothing and Bush says others have to die for those that have died already."
Afghanistan now has a democratic government. The Taliban is nearly gone in that country.
Saddam is gone. Iraq has had the first democratic elections in generations.
"Enough, George! What is disgusting is not, as the first lady says, criticism of you, but rather the crimes you've committed against this country and our sons and daughters. Stop hiding behind your twisted idea of God and stop destroying this country."

What crimes? What "twisted view of God"? How is President Bush "destroying this country"?
"This week I arrive in Washington DC to begin my Vigil at the White House just like I did in Texas. But this time I'll be joined by Katrina victims as well.
How many of these people will criticize the Democrat mayor of New Orleans or the Democrat governor of Louisiana?
In your America we are all victims. The failed bookends of your Presidency are Iraq and Katrina."
How is he responsible for Katrina?
Sounds pretty clear to me.
Sounds like the ravings of a lunatic to me.
Just like the 9/11 Victims are pawns to the right.
How so?
All I said was that your statements were assinine and ignorant. I apologize if I hurt your feelings.
In order for you to hurt my feelings, I'd have to care what you think. It has nothing to do with hurt feelings. It's about behaving like an adult.
You just called me assinine and ignorant, so obviously you believe I'm wrong.
Now, are you going to correct me on those points or are you just going to call names?
