> What you’re looking for is “Crime against peace”, which bans the planning, implementation and waging of wars of aggression. But I’m sure a lawyer would argue that Iraq technically wasn’t a war of aggression, since the purpose ostensibly wasn’t to seize the land and subjugate the people.

Of course, he’d be blatantly lying. He could also claim we did it to stop Saddam from using voodoo magic against the US with about as much plausibility.
