Just because all the bullies invaded, instead of just one, doesn't make it more ok.
- cmurf 5y agoNo. But the 2003 war was not an aggressive war. That has specific meaning. And aggressive wars are worse. The 2003 invasion didn't happen in a vacuum. Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. That too was an aggressive war to expand its borders. Hence all the UN resolutions that followed. Including the ones those 31 countries use as legal justification for the 2003 invasion. You aren't required to agree with that justification. I don't myself. But comparing the invasion of Iraq to the invasions of Georgia in 2009, Ukraine in 2014 and Ukraine in 2022 - isn't useful. They aren't the same thing.
