israel invades gaza: it's a sovereign right of nations to undertake military action.
i'm not taking a position here on which position is correct. i'm just pointing out that the united states merely uses international law as a tool of propaganda, and in truth hasn't the slightest interest in it's enforcement.
something has changed, though. this used to be a right-wing position - all the fear mongering about the nwo and the totalitarian order at the un is a calculated disinformation campaign to build popular support against the united nations, to stop it from being able to restrict american actions. the democrats, from roosevelt on, generally sought to uphold the legitimacy of the institution.
then, iraq happened. and the governing party has adopted a uniform position on the matter.
the un is dead. international law is dead. deal with it.
