International law is irrelevant when it proves itself irrelevant. If international law can't even enforce a few little sanctions against a little country, then it is irrelevant. If a cop can't keep your property and family safe from your neighbors, are you going to keep on relying on the cop or are you going to take matters into your own hands?

Terrorist are desperate? What are you talking about? Why were they desperate before 9/11? They should be desperate now that they know we ain't taking their crap anymore.

They don't have armies so they have to blow themselves up? What? What about diplomacy? This is like saying that a younger sibling's only recourse against his older sibling is to fight dirty.

I liked the little math equation though.

What part of the Hague Convention did the U.S. violate?

If the UN had been able to enforce the resolutions it imposed on Iraq before the war, then we wouldn't be in this mess. The oil for food program was corrupt. Corruption is illegal. The UN is broken and ineffective. Why put America's interest in the hands of the UN? America did what it had to do.

Who said anything about WMDs? Saddam was supposed to let the inspectors in. He didn't. The Food for Oil program was supposed to be food for oil, it wasn't.
