This invasion is unconstitutional. Bush is acting as if he has the right to attack Iraq whenever he feels like it. He couldn’t be more wrong. An attitude like that is very dangerous for a democracy. Our founders gave the right to Congress, and only Congress, to make the momentous decision of whether to take the U.S. to war or not. It says so in Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution.

It is against International law, which is quite clear: Country A cannot attack Country B unless Country B has already attacked Country A or is about to attack Country A. Iraq has yet to attack the U.S. Saddam knows that attacking the U.S. would basically be suicidal. No Iraqi has ever come here and killed any of our peop

In addition, just war theory also requires that the risks of doing more harm then good should be minimal. With this invasion, those risks cannot be taken lightly.

So, before you get all gung-ho about this war, know the facts, the truth. We are killing innocent people, wasting good money, and making our country look foolish because of the greed that one man possesses.

Iraq does not pose a clear and present danger. The White House says we should invade Iraq to keep Saddam Hussein from using weapons of mass destruction. But, during the 1990s UN weapons inspectors dismantled all of Iraq’s major chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons facilities and destroyed nearly all of Iraq’s weapons and long-range missiles. In terms of conventional arms, Iraq’s military is now at one-third of its pre-Gulf War strength. According to Ex-Marine and former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, Iraq presents “absolutely nothing” of a military threat. And given Hussein’s natural desire for self-preservation, it is highly unlikely he would launch any attack that would result in his destruction.
