Only partly true, Bre'er Adams.

You weren't wrong about my derision, though you mistook its reason. But I don't see where in the below quote you get the part about "ignorance", pretended or otherwise. And my request for a citation was clear, even to you. I think you just got distracted by the other part and started talking about the nature of international law.

I don't read it as "clear." I read it as clear derision towards the concept, couched in pretended ignorance.

>Of course Iraq 2 was "naked aggression"; what other kind of war is there? I wouldn't have bothered to respond to that, but the other part, about "International Law" (all capitalized and everything), has been repeated in previous years and I thought I'd let yet another claimant have yet another chance to cite a statute...?
