Saddam Clause

The false reasoning that it is okay to commit the perceived lesser evil of violating the principles of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, national sovereignty, and/or international/federal/state/local laws to eliminate a perceived greater evil, regardless of the consequences.

The United States invoked the Saddam Clause to invade Iraq.
