I'm trying to answer the question posed by the idiot of this story. That Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003 was more legal or moral than Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939, for which we sentenced several Nazi war criminals to death.

We sentenced several Nazis to death, not for the invasion of Poland, but for the concentration camps that killed 6 million people. Totally irrespective of the other, and mutually exclusive.

  You had better read the UN Charter and UNSCR Resolutions again. UNSCR 1441 was NOT a war resolution. In fact, the only reason why France China, and Russia agreed to sign UNSCR 1441 was because it ended with the words "The UN Security Council decides to remain seized of the matter" were included in the resolution. They were determined to include language in the resolution specifically stating that UNSCR 1441 was not to be used as a trip-wire to initiate an attack on Iraq.
  
  Bush violates UN Charter in unilateral decision to attack Iraq.
  http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/
  "The parties to any dispute, the continuance of which is likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security, shall, first of all, seek a solution by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or other peaceful means of their own choice. Should the parties to a dispute of the nature referred to in Article 33 fail to settle it by the means indicated in that Article, they shall refer it to the Security Council. If the Security Council deems that the continuance of the dispute is in fact likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security, it shall decide whether to take action under Article 36 or to recommend such terms of settlement as it may consider appropriate."
  
  "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations."
  
  And from Article VI of the U.S. Constitution: "all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land"
  
  Bush violates the UN's decision to allow inspectors to finish their jobs by forcing inspectors to evacuate prematurely
  (UNSCR 1441): "UNSC decides to set up an inspection regime with the aim of bringing to full and verified completion the disarmament process. UNMOVIC and the IAEA shall have unrestricted rights of entry into and out of Iraq, the right to free, undrestricted and immediate movement"
  
  Bush violates UN's decision to remain seized of the Iraq issue by taking Iraq out of the UN's hands and invading unilaterally without a UNSC war resolution
  
  UNSCR 1441: "Requests all UN Member States to give full support to UNMOVIC and the IAEA in the discharge of their mandates. Decides to convene upon receipt of a report to consider the situation and the need for full compliace with Council resolutions. DECIDES TO REMAIN SEIZED OF THE MATTER "
