I'm not very interested in arguing about it. I don't see it going anywhere positive.

Oh, horseshit.

This is the ridiculous tactic you always take when you're backed into a corner and don't have the intellectual honesty to admit it.

"Whine, whine, I don't have an answer, so I am going to take my ball and go home."

Yeah, whatever.

What's the point in even talking to someone who doesn't have the balls to support their point of view?

That's lightweight crap.

"I support the rule of international law, even though that may occasionally give odd results."

All right, apparently that means you think it would have been better for the genocidal violence in Cambodia, east Pakistan, and the Balkans to continue until a UN coalition dealt with the problems.

Note: Just like the UN dealt with the Rwanda genocide. Of course, the UN was already in the Balkans where UN troops allowed thousands of civilians under their "protection" to be slaughtered.

The wars I mentioned were real world examples that IMO showed the folly of your position on international law.
