Teribus, I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't dismiss the U.N. reports, I simply state that they are not current, and that no court in the world will convict someone of having committed a crime now on the sole basis that they did it five years ago. As far as being pre-emptive, Bush has said that that is his cause. Like I said, I would have fewer objections if he were resuming military activity after a cease-fire. The problem is, if he gets away with a "pre-emptive" war now, it sets precedent.
