>>The point that members of the anti-war, anti-Bush brigade were making was that the consent and approval of the United Nations was required. I am so very pleased that you so firmly agree with me that that is not the case (i.e. "This applies to anybody and everybody on planet earth." - absolutely, even GWB and the US in the case of Iraq).<<

As usual, you have no idea what you're saying or what I'm saying. I don't need anybody's sanction to do anything I want and that includes killing you and raping your wife and selling off your kids to a motorcycle gang if I feel like it. That DOESN'T mean anyone should approve of it or that it is lawful. I just don't need anybody's sanction to do it if I am so inclined.

Whether Bush was required to get UN sanction to invade is beside the point. My point is, he'll do it if he wants to UN sanction or no.

In the future, you would do well to understand the postion you are quoting before you quote it.
