Illegal?

AP:

U.S. allies Britain and Australia on Thursday rejected a claim by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan that the war in Iraq was ''illegal'' because Washington and its coalition partners never got Security Council backing for the invasion.

Remember when the President was going to go back to the UN? Yeah, that happened.

Here's a plan, it's called the Powell Doctrine, and before you goto war it's good to have the support of allies and a majority of your citizens.

If it's illegal, or isn't, why didn't they check with the head of the body they claimed to be representing before they went to war? Hmmmm....
