I already tagged a link to an educational short on why the Iraq War is illegal, but I'm afraid I didn't do it justice with just a simple link. I'm not sure if there was a straw that broke the camel's back, but I feel I have to make a clear public statement and call to action here.

First let us start with Two theses:

Thesis 1
If the invasion of Iraq by the US was a violation of the UN Charter
AND the UN Charter is a legally binding document
(under both US and International law)
Then the current US military involvement in Iraq is an Illegal War.

Thesis 2
If the US invasion and ongoing occupation of Iraq is an Illegal War,
Then the architects of that invasion
(including but not limited to President Bush and Vice President Cheney)
are War Criminals. Furthermore, US troops actively participating in the occupation of Iraq are (perhaps unwitting) War Criminals.

If you accept that the above Theses are true and correct, then you need to jump directly to my call to action: Impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney for War Crimes.
