It isn't against international law that a country can invade another, where's the difference, Iraq/Kuwait & US/Iraq? Does the Geneva Convention not cover the US (keeping track of civilians killed, protecting museums & hospitals, rights of prisoners of war, what weapons are not allowed-cluster bombs, etc)? Aren't we violating the human rights of others? The UN should've declared & condemned us as rouge nation (no backbone when concerning the US). We may not invaded only for the oil but it wasn't for the freedom of others either. Sure most hated Saddam, as a foreign invader/occupier they hate us just as much, can that be reason enough for an international coupe? Aren't we the be all to beat all asking others to help pay the bills & die for a war that they refused to have any part of, ("bugger off you started it you finish it")? Nixon thought he was above the law didn't he? "Saddam and the likes of him would be over in London today rather than the leader of the free world". Isn't that what we were told, it's only 45 minutes to doomsday & as for being the leader of the free world, you're joking right, freedom at the point of a gun more likely. The law of might means right, the law of survival at the cost to others, the law of the weak & strong, the law of we will replace your government with those that will serve our desires, I don't believe these are laws either. The Iraqi people went from the frying pan straight into the fire. I can't see where in history has the invasion of a country been truly justified because of a difference in culture, religion, ideology & ethnicity. This belief in forcibly imposing our values on others is this what we call freedom & democracy? Please, we had no justification in invading Iraq & killing probably as many civilians as Saddam did. We didn't even try diplomacy, Bush isn't capable, he's a shoot from the hip kind of reactionary who'll try to fix it up & justify what was done later when it's to late & all is said & done & in the past. I just don't understand how anyone can follow this logic & think that it's ok to shoot to kill & ask survivors questions later. Are we reliving Judge Roy Bean & the wild west are we still the only law west of the Pecos, where the speed of a gun is the law of the land, haven't we evolved at all for the better, no I guess not. Where does it say & where is it written that we are the soul international judge, jury & executioner & that we should be allowed to preside over all? Any who would support this way of life (or death) really needs a reality check & needs to rethink the difference between right & wrong & check out what's happening under their own sheets first.
