How can German politicians still argue that this is not a violation of international law? There was no attack by Iraq on the USA, the position of the UN Security Council was blatantly ignored, and American interests were massively placed above those of the UN. It is not even certain that the attacked Iraq actually possessed weapons of mass destruction that could at least approximately confirm the potential threat indicated by the USA (on the contrary, UN weapons inspectors assumed that the threat was far less than portrayed by the USA), and the USA never cooperated with the weapons inspectors at any point (and did not, for example, provide them with the allegedly existing evidence of weapons of mass destruction). The entire war is based on propaganda material and claims made by the Bush administration. And that is supposed to not be a violation of international law?
