Bruce, you can blather on about the war being legal until the cows come home, but it is only your opinion, and caries no more weight than your belief that the moon is made of green cheese.
Greater minds even than yours are firmly of the opinion that the war was illegal.
To refresh your memory on what happened...

1441 was only passed unanimously because members were assured that there would not automatically be military action if Iraq failed to heed it.

The US ambassador to the UN stated: "This resolution contains no "hidden triggers" and no "automaticity" with respect to the use of force. If there is a further Iraqi breach, reported to the Council by UNMOVIC, the IAEA or a Member State, the matter will return to the Council for discussions as required in paragraph 12."
The Uk ambassador to the UN also told the Security Council, " If there is a further Iraqi breach of its disarmament obligations, the matter will return to the Council for discussion as required in paragraph 12. We would expect the Security Council then to meet its responsibilities."

When it became clear that the US and UK would not get nine out of the 15 votes need to carry the day they abandoned their 'second resolution' plan. By which time, of course, the war was already in the later stages of planning.

The war may have been, for you, desirable (funny how some people get their jollies, isn't it?), but it is rash to claim that it was either legal nor prudent.
