... whatever that is supposed to mean here. Regardless of the behaviour of the leader of a sovereign state, the law states that no armed force should be used against them. The action in Iraq was convenient as is the sabre rattling towards Iran...
A simple reading of the weapons inspectors reports will show how little threat Iraq posed militarily... likewise, the yellowcake fiasco, where we were led to believe that a shipment of 500 tonnes or so of glow-in-the-dark radioactive material was to be carried through the Suez Canal and around the corner to Iraq through the Persian Gulf where fishermen in wooden boats were complainign about being stopped so often by the naval ships patrolling the waters. Once there it was to be shipped to a processing centre to turn it into enriched uranium using the cascade method. Errm.... a TEST facility had been removed years before. A simple search on the interwebnettubes will show that, in order to process this material, it would be necessary to have a large tower that would even be spotted by Stevie Wonder on a bad day...
More than 'questionable legitimacy'...
