You remind me of George W. Bush.

>>>"International law? I better call my lawyer; he didn't bring that up to me."
-- George W. Bush, responding [yesterday] to a question about U.S. policy in Iraq violating international law

BENJAMIN FERENCZ, benferen@aol.com, benferencz.org

Ferencz was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials for Nazi war crimes after World War II and is available for a limited number of interviews. He said [today]: "It's a sad commentary when the president of the United States has apparently no knowledge or concern for international law. We said at Nuremberg that we would be bound by laws -- that they would apply equally to all. But it's a violation of international law to go to war without the approval of the [U.N.] Security Council when you are not under armed attack. The U.S. has violated that in its attack on Iraq, as well as other times. The Bush administration has repudiated the International Criminal Court, when over 90 nations want to carry on the legacy of the Nuremberg tribunals, but the administration is trying to cripple it in its cradle."<<<
