I have to agree with ubertuber on this one. I don't think this war is a cut and dry case of illegal warmaking and, in my opinion, any effort to condemn ourselves from within takes away much needed attention on how we will work toward a solution to this mess.
Its also important to remember that the men and women in our military are our neighbors and fellow Americans. I'm not at all comfortable with our questioning the legality of simply being part of the military regardless of how popular the war is.
