I could care less if we had no reason for attacking and occupying Iraq. I always supported it because we've had every right to do so since 1991.

There is no "international law" that means anything to anyone. Should we decide to ignore or obey, it poses no consequence to us. Thus "international law" and "illegal", linked together, are just your ways of complaining about a war in an attempt to make yourself look more knowledgable than you really are about the subject.

It's not easy to prove someone wrong when they will not change their opinion. You still believe "international law" applies even if it cannot be enforced. It's as if you would voluntarily restrain yourself from throwing trash on your lawn if your local home owner's association told you that you couldn't anymore, even though they hold no power whatsoever.

Even if the law exists, it has no power, thus it holds no credence for anyone and any nation that has any self-respect. I would not adhere to laws that couldn't be enforced, and I seriously doubt you would either.

Of course, there's nothing I really can do to convince you that "international law" is null and that using it in an argument is pointless; short of being the members of the committee that make said "law" into inaction. More to the point, though, why would you expect the United States to follow "international law" when it isn't enforced for the nation we invaded because of the lack of enforcement?

I know you've said it was vigilante justice before, and that we shouldn't have done it. That's a great reason if the United Nations were doing their part in enforcing their own resolutions and laws. The Minutement in the Southwest aren't supposed to be patrolling the border to spot out terrorist suspects and illegal aliens, but they still do it while even cooperating with the Border Patrol.

Then again, the UN didn't want to cooperate with the United States for being their Minutemen in this situation, and you know this. So my only conclusion is that you either support Iraq's pre-war dictatorship and corrupt UN deals with said government, or you're doing this just to annoy people. I wouldn't venture to say you are without morality or intelligence, since I know you well enough to tell you're a decent guy who disagrees with me on points; so I'm led to believe you're using this subject as a way to entertain yourself ala-FUD style by posting the most far-fetched and irritating theories you can in order to support anti-war sentiment.
