The legality of the invasion of Iraq has been challenged since its inception on a number of fronts, and several prominent supporters of the invasion in all the invading nations have publicly and privately cast doubt on its legality. It is argued that the invasion was fully legal because authorization was implied by the United Nations Security Council.[95][96] International legal experts, including the International Commission of Jurists, a group of 31 leading Canadian law professors, and the U.S.-based Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy, have denounced both of these rationales.[97][98][99]

On September 16, 2004 Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan, speaking on the invasion, said, "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN Charter. From our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal."[1]

Opposition to the decade-long Afghanistan war stems from numerous factors – these include the view that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was illegal under international law and constituted an unjustified aggression, the view that the continued military presence constitutes a foreign military occupation, the view that the war does little to prevent terrorism but increases its likelihood, and views on the involvement of geo-political and corporate interests. Also giving rise to oppposition to the war are the high level of civilian casualties, the cost to taxpayers, the decades of war inflicted on Afghans, the length of the war to date, and the estimates by many that it could last for many more decades.

Two very different administrations both chose to stay in Afghanistan. We can assume they both weighed the pros and cons of that action and seemingly arrived at the same conclusion.

The spider is money, most already spent. Zillions lined up.

That's even dumber than stupid!

Why would you want to see a terrorist action committed by your government, JPB?

It is a war crime to illegally invade another country. It is the supreme war crime. It is one of two in the last, roughly, ten years that the US government, your government has engaged in.

It has caused unbelievable harm to millions of people, innocent people, people who have done nothing, not a ******* thing to the US, certainly not to you

... do not tip toe. Otherwise you sound silly.
