Pat,

To be honest, I don't know what speech Shrub could have made with honesty that could have justified this war with Iraq. I believe that most of the world was with us against Afganistan (from Friedman's book I've mentioned before about the Middle East, bin Laden's attack on the US gave us ample justification for retaliation against those who harmed us) and would have stayed with us as long as any action taken by the US was related to 9/11.

I also believe that if Iraq had interfered with our pursuit of our attackers that could have been included. But other than that, I don't know.

As far as repeated UN violations, yes, you did mention something Shrub spoke of truthfully.
