Treaties are not analogous to laws, not matter how many of them there are. In the common terminology "international law" is meant to imply treaties, Geneva Conventions, the UN charter, the laws of the sea, that type of thing. They may not be the same as speeding violations, but that is how the words are used in common discourse. If not based on a violation of international law (whatever that means), on what do you think the guy is going to base his claim that the Iraq invasion was "illegal"?

foxnews.com That's an article about Lisa Marie Nowak. While I'm not above joking or less than decorous remarks on the threads on various topics, I think that some of the language used in this article is disgraceful. It's supposed to be a news article, not some reply dashed off on the internet. For example: In letters found in Nowak's car, the crazed moonbat professed her love for the spaceman. Is it just me or is that not a ridiculous way to write in what purports to be a news article?
