Even if we bend over backwards and say that the U.S. attack on Iraq was for the self-defense of the United States,
Japan had not been attacked by Iraq at that point,
and has not been attacked even now, so dispatching troops to Iraq in this case
would constitute the exercise of the right of collective self-defense. Yet the current government
seems not to have recognized the exercise of the right of collective self-defense…
Without bending over backwards, and looking at it calmly, Iraq was not an immediate
threat to the United States, so this was a war of aggression.
Dispatching troops to assist in that war of aggression would not merely violate the Constitution;
it would violate international law.
