You've written out a nice response but I see no sources posted to back up your opinion.
It's fine that you think 'you have' a valid argument but that doesn't make your esteemed legal opinion valid.
You could post one legitimate source for your opinion but as there are none it might be difficult.

Holy fuck, you MUST be American!
Where do your valued opinion from? Faux News? CNN? The Times? Fuck, even some American news sources have touched on the illegality of the war. It's no secret that in the majority of instances this has all been played out in violation of international law. But hey, don't expect them to tell you that every day on the 6 o' clock news. America DID get a war powers resolution, legally entitling them to the use military force as authorized by the UNSC. Meaning they have to ask before they do anything, which they didn't. Another violation.
There is a world OUTSIDE the united states you know? Most of it views the war as illegal, most of us look down upon America. Don't you think there might be some reasoning behind that? What do you want me to give you for a "legitimate" source of information? You want me to write a fucking book on the topic of international law regarding legitimate war? media propaganda in support of the current war? or imperialist strategy? I'm sure there's a whole fucking shelf of them down at your local library. Maybe you should start reading some of them, and quit taking everything the American media tells you as truth.
Sleep tight in your ignorance, I'm not going to bother arguing with you, you have no argument. Go pick up the following books and do a little reading, when you're finished I'll give you more...
Imperial Ambitions - Noam Chomsky
The Criminality of Nuclear Deterrence - Francis Boyle
I'm willing to bet there's more solid evidence to back the opinion that war is illegal than there are otherwise...
