But Iraq was different. Instead of recurring to an international forum, a devastating war was declared that went beyond deposing Saddam, wreaking damage on tens of thousands of civilians, and thus confounding the message of condemnation.
但伊拉克却不同。有关各方对其发动了一场破坏性的战争而没有借助于国际论坛。这场战争不止推翻了萨达姆的统治，也给成千上万的平民造成了伤害。因此，定罪的讯息有些混淆不清。
