There was definitely justification; ignoring and not following UN regs

So, if the US or Israel ignores "UN regs", will you cheer for the Russian or Chinese troops marching in?

Wake me up when Israel starts mounting offensive campaigns designed to conquer territories like Hussein did. To the victors while playing a defensive role, go the spoils. UN 242 which many point to but ignore all the *niches* from the debate/agreements has no correlation to what Hussein did.

Hussein was defeated then after being defeated, deliberately targeted US no-fly patrols, agreements concerning defeat. Is Israel in a perpetual state of a cease fire agreement with China and Russia BTW?

Also I find it interesting that you equate the Soviet Bloc/Arab States' geopolitical manipulation to Hussein's Iraq.
