So lets say bush enslaves canada... you cant do anything because of treaties.

how does this make sence.

Bipper

actually you can. he attacked another (allied) country. thus allowing war.

Ok, Scottish government takes over and enslaves the citizens to mine in deep dark unhealthy caves.

Sorry buddy.. we cant help? I would if i could ( I tried to enlist but i am a severe asthmatic and cannot physically do much :cry: So you know i aint just saying tthat i would help )

Bipper

if it was genocide or recognised by the un as something which needed action taken against it then it would also be fair in love and war.

What of the curds and other oppressed people?
That right there makes it fair to me. I know we labeled the war for Weapons of mass destruction - but yeah.

I think bush is the biggest weapon of mass destruction at times :) But heh - he has his good points

Bipper

i don't see any good points in bush.

and yes if the UN had labeled the kurd oppression a problem then invasion would have been fine. but one must remember that in recent years iraq has not been the greatest oppressor of the kurds, turkey has.

Yes, Turkey is opprssive - but Iraq has been a bigger thorn in our side. Killing two birds with one stone I belive. And the UN requires a strict 100% agreement for anything right? I belive it does. That really makes it hard to get much done.. But in hindsight - I really would of like the UN's blessing to go in there.

I jsut hope everything turns out ok - i mean for everyone. All this violence (on our side and theirs) is really getting to me. We should all just live to be respectful of eachother and try to move on - together. It may be doubtful, but i am hopeful

Breaking international law?

You mean like firing on airplanes after a ceasefire? You know, the thing Iraq did seventeen times and which was each individually a legally accepted justification for war?

actually flying planes over someone else's territory is grounds for shooting at them.

un doesn't need a 100% vote. it does from those with the veto. (which is why the war in serbia was illegal but....... it was still right because russia was being an ass). personally i don't like the veto at all.
