It's not quite that simple. Altogether, the Iraq War Resolution cited 23 separate reasons for military action against Iraq. The U.N. resolutions were only one of them.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to try and read through it thoroughly tonight and tomorrow, in between a stack of other research papers I need to go through.
