What are laws but a set of rules created by those who weild enough power to enforce them.
The Bush regime got away with what any other country would've been brought to justice for. The difference is they're American. If the rest of the world had enough power and willingness to hold them accountable, they'd be held accountable.
The black and white of it is they manipulated and misled their population in order to invade a country on false pretenses.
There is no such thing as international law. Its organized crime, and there's a perpetual turf war. The US has the biggest guns.
