This is exerpted from a post on another thread by X the unknown. However, I really thought it worth posting..Guess I really liked it .. The most salient sentence... regime change is not allowed under internatioal law. We broke International Law here and with the prisoners in Guantanamo an Al Ghrib...too..

.Tell the American people all the legs of the stool that Bush parked his ass on are gone, and the emperor now squats on the ground. Poor Blair keeps saying that the intelligence was wrong but "he won't apologize for removing Saddam..." Hello- regime change is not allowed under international law, removing Saddam was not suppsed to be the issue, the issue was TERRORISM, and those nasty AQ folks in Iraq, and -oh my gosh- those Iraqi weapons that could reach (who?) in 15 minutes...- you aren't supposed to go around knocking out leaders, and putting in your own puppets. Leaving aside the reasons we don't do it regarding international law, and global stability, it simply doesn't work very well- so there are legal and practical reasons not to do it. Too bad the Bush team don't get that.
