illegal war

[etothepii]

I've heard a lot of lefties, anti-Bush conservatives and independents, protesters, etc. use this term.

I'm sure this will start a war of words, and that is not my intent...

What exactly is meant by this. In their view, does this war violate some U.S. law? Some international law? I really want to know the thought behind this phrase.

Thanks.

I believe the term "illegal war" was created by the U.S. lefties. However, it isn't an offical term. I think "illegal war" refers that the US went to war with Iraq over false information and false reasons. I could be wrong though.

The explanation should be quite interesting, especially when congressional action is ignored.

War has never been declared has it?

I think what they are referering to is International Law.
