International law allows for defensive wars against aggressors.
Understand that in neither case, Germany or Iraq, did we go to war with
them because of any pur****ted "crimes against humanity". The two 20th
century wars against Germany were classic big-power wars fought for
geo-political reasons. The American invasion of Iraq in 2003 had
nothing to do with Saddam's atrocities committed against Iraqis.
