If for some reason I were to conclude that my previous statements
regarding the justification for deposing Saddam's government were
wrong, then Bush would be what? What law are you claiming he broke? And
does breaking a law make one a thug?

What law are you saying Bush broke?

I don't recall there being a law that Bush has broken. He hasn't
testified anywhere falsely, though his some of his minions have, and
his invasion of Iraq was fully justified under many UN resolutions, so
exactly what laws are you claiming he broke, and when did he become
subject to them?
