Just the fact that these two wars were ILLEGAL is enough to silence you.

That statement above is certainly not a "fact".
F.Y.I., the war in Iraq was not "ILLEGAL". The first gulf war was ended by a "cease-fire armistice", not a peace treaty. Meaning, that if any side in the cease-fire armistice violates the terms of said cease-fire then military operations can resume under international law.

Yes while your correct about the ceasefire, HOWEVER, you failed to mention that the invasion of Iraq was based on the fact Saddam had WMDs, which later turned out to be false.
In other words= A war based on a lie.

Irrelevant. The first time Saddam and his regime violated the cease-fire armistice we had legal right to resume military operations. That's the first violation of the "no-fly" zone.
What did they violate? Saddam actually wanted peace talks with America despite the illegal invasion based on a inside job. Besides, a no-fly zone enforced by America is an act of war. Just face the fact that America has killed over 1.5 million people in the last 10 years.

Okay, please stop saying "illegal", that's not correct as I've already explained the enormous difference between a "cease-fire armistice" and a "peace treaty" under international law.
It's not an "act of war" in the context of the first Iraq war Sir. It was an agreed upon condition of the cease-fire armistice in 1991. Meaning Saddam agreed to allow not one, but two no-fly zones as a condition to get NATO, (not the US), to stop military operations inside the country. Just like anything else with him, it was all lip service.
The fact that we waited over 10 years to resume military operations when we could have after the very first violation is a testament to our extreme patience.

Another American patriot who refuses to acknowledge his own country's war crimes. Just the fact that these two wars were ILLEGAL is enough to silence you. Nobody needed to die but America pursued her own interests and decided to carpet bomb Iraq, and Afghanistan. Chemical warfare agents ARE responsible for the deaths of at least 900,000 people from Iraq. Now, couple that with those who survive the toxic leftover, their children are then born with mutant limbs, blindness, etc. So the effects of Americas aim to spread democracy are still to be felt. Future generations will thank you I'm sure, as you sound like the type who would support an invasion of IRAN too.

The entire world hates your country for what you have done. Pissing on dead soldiers, blowing up dogs, picking up civilians then blowing them up, torturing people in concentration camps, raping hundreds of thousands of young girls and women, kill teams in Afghanistan, invading families homes, killing civilians then placing weapons on their bodies.

Yet you refuse to acknowledge it, oh I didn't do that, but if you call yourself an American then you did do it. And if you supported these wars, no doubt you still do, than you are a war criminal.
