1441 does not in itself give authority for an attack on Iraq if Iraq fails to comply. Neither France nor Russia would of passed the resolution if it had of done. Simply because previous resolutions allow action to take place does not give them the right to take action. By a legal quirk of fate we've still technically at war with Germany and have been since WW1 should we go and invade Berlin?
*dont answer that as im sure someone would*
Quite frankly the only reason this war is happening is because Blair has completely backed himself into a corner over his outright support for Bush. To turn around and admit defeat now is simply not an option for him. He's a politican, these scum don't have feelings like normal people he live's in a zero-sum world were nothing is important to him other than he gains at the expense of others. In this case a few thousand dead Iraqi's.
