"...lets talk libertarian speak. Hussein put his name to contracts agreeing to certain penalties in return for a suspension of hostilities. He has fraudulently reneged on those contracts. Now, it is time to pay the piper. What philosophy is it that you adhere to that looks favorably on men who lie, break contracts..."

An agreement forced upon one of the parties has no force in law, and is void.

No matter what crimes Hussein committed, he is the sovereign of his nation, and is acting honorably when he collects weapons for the defense of his nation..
