"It has never happened in history that a nation that has won a war has been held accountable for atrocities committed in preparing for and waging that war."

I believe that the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was illegal. It seems that many Kossacks feel the same.
Imagine a scenario in which the United States were held accountable if we did, in fact, violate any laws. Maybe benevolent space aliens, or God, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster intervened and brought Peace and pursued Justice.
As someone who believes that the War was illegal I have the opportunity to present my case to this benevolent force (BF). I present my disorganized thoughts and beliefs supported by links from around the internets.

Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there,
she once was a true love of mine.
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green).
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground).
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain).
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call).
Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.

Right on the Iraq War from Day 1.
Vote "NO'' On Iraq War Resolution
Statement by Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), October 3, 2002
Before the House of Represenatives
As the vote on whether or not this Nation goes to war approaches in this Chamber, a vote which most surely will come within a few days, I think it is important, Mr. Speaker, for us to be able to make the case to the American people as to why it is not appropriate for this country to go to war and to encourage the American people to call their Members to make sure that government of the people, by the people, and for the people does prevail.

The Diary Series I Got The News Today (IGTNT) was started in April of 2004. There have been over 500 diaries in the series since then.
One year ago today, a comment in an IGTNT diary contained a presidential letter to a mother who lost five sons in the war. The series has noted the passing of Pat Tillman and Casey Sheehan and many, many others.
