>Correct me if I'm wrong Evan. But the first golf war never actually ended. It was just a cease fire, much like the two Koreas. And weren't there resolutions written up by the UN that the war could continue if Iraq (Saddam) didn't live up to their part of the resolution?

The point is that despite issuing the resolutions, the UN did not agree with the US/UK going to war with Iraq. Because of this, you can't use the resolutions as reason why the war should have happened.
