I see where you are coming from, and I respect your views. However, in this case Bush and the law are one and the same. You won't find anyone who feels more strongly that the war in Iraq is a mistake than me. This point is irrelevant. Bush is the CIC, we go where he says to, period. The most basic duty of the military is to follow the legal orders given it by the chain of command, which is ultimatly the voting citizens of the country.
The military is reponsible for jus in bello not jus ad bellum.
This is getting a bit far afield. Why not start a new thread...
