That's why I said "under all circumstances".
The United States clearly has the case to make that 13 years worth of resolutions had been ignored, that 1441 was a "final warning", and that the stakes were too high to allow Koffi's family to continue to cash in on the Oil-for-Food program while American security was in jepoardy.
I'm not saying that they would win the case. I'm simply saying that the reason we have international courts is to try international disputes.
If a nation thinks the United States broke the law then they should take the United States to court.

If you don't want to abide by such international agreements then persuade your administration to withdraw from international treaties and resign the country's UN membership.

I agree.
If Iran doesn't want to live up to their international treaties they should withdraw from the UN.
