Breaking UN Resolutions are technical issues, making war against nations which are not making war and do not intend to make war against yours is a crime.
Well I'm no expert on the UN, but the above sounds like nonsense to me. It sounds like the purpose of the UN is to make Recommendations, not Resolutions, if violating a UN resolution carries with it zero penalty. And as far as war crimes any nation that invades another nation has only committed a crime if the Security Council says so, right? Otherwise, who determines when an illegal invasion/crime has occurred? Not you, and not me. Since the invasion of Iraq has not been determined to be a crime by the Security Council, I guess it wasn't one.
Bush is a war criminal, something which Saddam was not.
Saddam violated numerous UN resolutions. Bush violated zero, and has been determined to be in violation of zero "international laws" by the Security Council. So, your opinion in that sentence is nothing more than your opinion. The facts, according to the UN's resolutions on Saddam's activity and Bush's activity, disagree with you.
Fact remains, there are international laws, laws which have been agreed on by all nations existing at the time, which ban aggression of one nation against another and especially for the reason you cite. It isn't a subject for debate, it's a fact.
Nonsense. You are not judge and jury. The UN laws require the Security Council's approval for resolutions, and I don't know for sure but likely also require the Security Council to sanction any determination that a country has violated a UN/international law. Without that determination by the Security Council, there is no agreed upon violation of international law, and you are left with your opinion that the invasion of Iraq violated international law, which is just that, your opinion. It's certainly not a fact.
It was further my argument, for what it's worth, that the only way the nations could be made to co-exist peacefully was when all, or at least many, were powerful.
Well, Canada, the USA, Mexico and Latin America and even Cuba seem to get along pretty peacefully without equality of power. |
