I wasn’t a big fan of Jean Chretien but on this I agree with you.

The thing the chicken hawks up here didn’t realize, or did and thought it was an awesome idea, was that the invasion of Iraq was a crime. Unprovoked invasion of another sovereign state is against international law.

It could have returned the world to the 19th and early 20th Centuries where nations could only guarantee their security through complex alliances. Until the day an Archduke gets assassinated in Serbia triggering all those alliances at once, with hideous results.

Only people stunningly ignorant or batshit insane were in favour of that.

You forget the armies of US and UK lawyers desperately inventing legal precedent to justify the invasion.
