Cat amongst the pidgeons. aka, lets get real.
Is sending our troops into this war an illegal order ?
1. If saddam was to go into excile, the war would be effectively cancelled.
2. If he stays put, the country gets bombed.
3. The US wants to get rid of one man for the cost of innocent civilians.
4. There is no proof to go to war with.
5. Since the Nurnburg trials, the statement " I was only following orders " stopped being an excuse for murder.
6. What happens when the message is passed "Saddam is dead "? Keep bombing or have a smoker?
Refuse an order on this basis and I'm sure the International courts of law will back you. (Only the US and us want a fight)
Sorry to bring it to basics, but someone has to.
