Well Iraq, the first time, yes. They invaded Kuwait which in my opinion did legitimise the first gulf war (though opinions may vary). Though IMO it should have happened under UN flag but of course the security council is forever locked into a stalemate.

The second war, no. Whatever it was.. Made-up WMD's, funding of military industrial complex, Dubya's desire to finish daddy's pet project, whatever. A real reason there was not.
