How many American soldiers out there fighting in Iraq can point out the Constitutional justification of invading a sovereign nation to forcibly change their government? I hope you answered 0 because the justification does not exist. The soldiers out there fighting to take over Iraq are doing so because of the second clause of the military oath: because they were told to do it.
Killing someone is pretty close to being as simple as following orders by the way. Ever heard of the experiments of Stanley Milgram? His experiments showed that normal people will do extremely harmful things to other people when ordered to by an authority figure. The percentage increases when the form of harm is something indirect (i.e. something like firing a cruise missile would barely make a person hesitate to kill).
