Forum Lurker, you said, to me "but you'll be missing the point even more than you already are." It is you who are missing the point

Iraq has violated the ceasfire may times, both by failing to disarm and by talking pot shots at allied aircraft. One side cannot be bound by a ceasfire once the other has broken it. That's pretty simple and since there is no law stating other wise and there are no articles about broken cease fires other then the security council having the the option to apply additional pressure, and since there is specific language saying that "Such provisional measures shall be without prejudice to the rights, claims, or position of the parties concerned." Then vis a vis the afforementioned section of the UN Charter the United States and Britain are not breaking "International Law".

If you think that they are breaking international law, go and arrest them. You will find that the permanent members of the UN security council are the only "International Law" that matters. When I made that point it wasn't to open a discussion on "the basic idea of a ceasefire" or anything like that. I was simply looking at what was written in Chapter VII of the UN charter. Please do not counter those words by making things up, assuming things not written, or saying how you would like things to be.   

I'm tired of arguing the same points again and again. Until and unless someone finds other applicable treatys or statutes, I'm done talking about it.
