Actually I respect Mr. Watada’s stance; even if I don’t really agree with him philosophically... the whole “war-crimes” thing should have been seriously considered (on the merit of the legitimacy of ops in Iraq, rather than on the President), and the resolution to activities in Iraq could be explained as a resumption of War after the cease-fire had been breached by Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi military operations which included active-targeting of US aircraft. (IIRC we had a cease-fire and didn’t end the declaration of war from Pr Bush Sr.)
