"UN Charter, which the US signed (and, in fact, wrote) and was adopted by the US Senate, clearly states that one nation may not attack another unless the first nation has actually been attacked by the second nation. "

Iraq firing on our planes on a regular basis gave the U.S. the "International Right" to attack Iraq, long before George Bush was elected President.
