Yugoslavia wasn't NATO but UN.

Um. I'm going to assume that you mean hat Yugoslavia was not a member of NATO but a member state of the UN.

But clintoon violated many international agreements and started and illegal war.

Name one international agreement that Clinton violated by attacking Yugoslavia that Bush did not violate by attacking Iraq.

I'm not taking sides with Clinton over Bush, but just pleading against all odds for some sort of morally and logically consistent criteria.

NATO itself is not subject to limitations which would apply to members of the UN.[citation needed]

Aside from the lack of paragraph breaks, it's poor form to quote Wikipedia -- or any source -- without citing it.

The difference is, Iraq flagrantly violated the terms of the ceasefire they agreed to to end the first Gulf War. That was enough all by itself to justify resumed war with no further UN authorization.
