#1 So if there was a 'mandate', where do they come up with 'illegal war'? /rhetorical question highlighting the self imposed ignorance of the left.

#2 I've had the pleasure a few times of exploring this topic with non-hysterical "anti-war" types. They're shocked to learn that the Coalition has been acting under UNSC authorization. In one case the situation was right for me to exploit that break in the lines to ask how little most people really know about the war, if they don't know this basic fact, and to make the obvious point about media distortion. Blank looks are the normal response to this or any other of a 1,000 things these folks don't know or understand. A wonder we got this far as a country, or can even generate electricity ....
