MotherJones.com | Is This War Legal?

President Bush has gone to great pains to document the undeniably tyranical nature of Saddam Hussein's regime. Hussein, Bush has declared, is both evil and dangerous. And so war, Bush has said, is both justified and right. But on the question of legality, administration officials have simply asserted that existing Security Council resolutions adopted more than a decade ago authorize the attack. That assertion has gone largely unexamined by politicians and pundits alike. But, with the White House having pulled the plug on its disastrous attempt to secure a final resolution, a growing number of legal experts are now suggesting that the US may be waging a war in violation of international law.
