I will NEVER argue that point -- this whole war is an uncomfortable thing for me, too. And, not because it is potentially illegal, but because of the previously argued idea that pre-emptive action, once justified in the world, leads to war on all sides. ::ugh::
Remember, though, that the advice of the magistrates/laywers in the UK could be couched in intelligence we are not at liberty to know, so the reasoning may be understood or revealed at the appropriate levels, but not to the masses. That's the only "out" I see, but I'll have to go with it for the time being (the whole point of the House of Commons is to debate the hell out of stuff, so if he didn't present his logic, his arguments would have been tossed on their ear just on general principle).
Thanks for those alternative points, btw... I'll be reviewing them for office discussion (I'm often the intermediary between radical right proponents and the one voice of the left when they have lunchtime vocal altercations)
