'A point of international law'

These people who support George W. Bush and the war in Iraq cannot have it both ways.
If you talk about U.N. resolutions, you must also remember that the United States and Iraq signed the U. N. Charter.

Chapter 1, Purposes and Principles, Article 2.3 of the U.N. Charter demands that all members settle their international disputes by peaceful means.
Going to war is not what is meant by peaceful means.

Chapter 1, Article 2.4 of the U.N. Charter demands that all members refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

We may love democracy and capitalism (there is a difference) in the United States; however, it is against international law to force our political agenda on the Iraqis.

Chapter VII, Action with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression, Article 39 of the U.N. Charter gives the U.N. Security Council the right to determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression.
The U.N. Security Council makes recommendations, or decides what measures are to be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, in an effort to maintain or restore international peace and security.

In short, unless attacked, no country, including the United States, is permitted to attack a sovereign country without U. N. Security Council approval.
It's a point of international law.

Like it or not, Bush broke international laws, misled Congress and lied to the country.
As a result, to date, more than 1,700 Americans are dead and more than 15,000 are permanently disabled.

Never forget, according to the Bible, we all have a moral obligation to hold Bush accountable.
