America's attack on Iraq was ruthless and the world now sees that the justification for making 'war' with that country was a lie. Iraq was disarming before America decided to attack (Can anyone tell me how cowardly it is to ask a country to disarm and then attack it once it starts doing so?).
As for removing Saddam...maybe it was good...but at least he was able to run the country (we all have our ways of doing things, his was just 'less civilised' than Bush would have liked it to have been...and it was that way with the American people too (and many others)).
There is no law that says you can attack a rogue state for posession of nuclear weapons. That is legal.
By attacking Iraq, America IGNORED the UN...destroying its credibility and legitimacy.
Edit: Just wanted to add...

Sanctions against Saddam's regime have been responsible for the death of approximately 500,000 children within Iraq since they began 12 years ago.

If one nation perceives itself to be under threat from another, it may approach the Security Council who will then assess the existence or nature of the threat and sanction appropriate measures. No nation, unless attacked, may act unilaterally with military force.

America also has the right to stop a UN inspection on its soil and can prevent any American sample being analysed in another country. (Who is running this world?)
