Coalition of the willing (read 'war crims')

The United States has proposed a doctrine of "pre-emptive self-defence" (doesn'tall the NewSpeak make you shudder?) to use force against another country it suspects may attack it at some stage.
However, a pre-emptive strike on Iraq would constitute a crime against humanity, write 43 experts on international law and human rights.
The initiation of a war against Iraq by the self-styled "coalition of the willing" would be a fundamental violation of international law.
