"There will always be differences of opinion in law, but when the vast majority of international lawyers believe it to be illegal, and very few legal,"

And here I thought it was the JUDGES that made rulings of law. Silly me.

The vast majority of people in Asia feel that Taiwan is a part of mainland China- Does this mean that the US should throw away our treaty obligations to support Taiwan as an independent state?

Perhaps we should look to the UN- You know, the ones who put Sudan on the Human Rights commission?

I do not claim to have the answers to all the questions- Hell, I don't even know all the questions. But I know people who have had missiles with chemical warheads, WMD by the US definition, attacking them and their families. If there is a chance to prevent this from happening again, I do not think we would be morally right to sit back and allow it. I am sorry if that upsets some of you: Perhaps if it hits closer to home for you, you might think more about it.
