So, you are suggesting that if someone believes US has waged illegal war in Iraq, he has moral/legal authority to punish US citizens??

If a US citizen believes the US has waged an illegal war, he is also responsible for it. Thats how democracy works.

Thats why when countries have mandatory drafts, you cant just say "no thanks, I didnt vote for it".

I think two parties can have opposing opinions on this. That’s the whole reason wars are fought: disagreements over moral or legal authority. Otherwise why resort to violence?
