Precedent? Take a look at the list of hundreds of wars fought in the past two hundred years and tell me what the general precedent is already. What was the cause of the India/Pakistan, China/Tibet, Czechoslavakia/Russia, Iran/Iraq, France/Lebanon, USA/Panama, or hundreds of other major international or minor tribal conflicts in the world?
I have news for you. Every war was started by someone who from their point-of-view had a legitimate reason and most were started for reasons no better than the Iraq/US one. Your really think there is something new going on here?
