That was different. There was an ultimatum, there was a coalition.
Yes, the recreational wars were dumb, wrong, illegal and just all around bad ideas.
But there was a solid attempt at giving them legitimacy. This matters.
You’re describing how Iraq was sold, not why it was justified.
Oh, I wouldn't want to justify it ;)
But the fact that it had to be sold was probably a good thing.
