The war is illegal because it was not approved by the UN, and was not a war of self-defence.
For those who strongly say some countries on the Security Council would veto anything, well i would say that the US should have brought this to the attention to the UN General Assembly, but i think they knew most countries would vote against the resolution, or would abstain.
Now, some people will say, that the UN is useless, and does not represent anything, this may partially true for the security council, but i really don't think this is the case of the General Assembly, they do represent all official governments of the world, and if some of these governments don't have a perfect track record, the General Assembly does represent the majority of the world population.
Once again, some people will say that the world population and world governments don't understand the US, well if someone goes down to this kind of reasoning, it means that they only
take the point of view of one country, and ignores the rest of the world.
(personally the kind of people who have this last kind of reasoning should not be allowed to de diplomats, otherwise it would make for a very scary world).
I'm not saying that the UN is perfect, far from it... It needs reform, but the underlying texts of international law are quite good in my opinion.
