Maybe it's better if we started another thread:

Have at it buddy. Show me where I said that.

You've shown where I quote the UN Charter, to which the U.S. is a signatory, making it the law of the land. Are you disputing that the U.S. is a member of the UN again, or what exactly is your point? There are specific ways a country can defend itself or its allies.
Please now, show me, and again, as I said in the other thread, I'm sure you're correct, where did I say "all use of military force outside our own borders" is a violation of international law? |

Now you deny your own words?
Your idiocy is incomprehensible. I was paraphrasing, but there is no doubt that you do consider any use of military force outside our borders a crime.
The UN charter, as has been explained to you a dozen times, does not say what you think it says.
Now stop embarrassing yourself and go sit down.
Dave_W, Kil, you people locked a thread when I did this (picked a fight with another member of the forums) and issued me a warning. Might want to get on with a little moderation before this degrades further and people other than Dglas get pissed enough with this fool to cuss him out too. And really, with regard to the other thread he is being a jackass in, you might want to consider enforcing a little civility by moderation there as well.

In other words, you were wrong. Don't worry about it, everyone's wrong once in a while. |

Some of the links in the threads you referenced are old and not working.
Kofi Annan, a servant of the cold war relic, a servant of the imperialist elite himself agreed that the Iraq war was a violation of international law: | When pressed on whether he viewed the invasion of Iraq as illegal, he said: "Yes, if you wish. I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN charter from our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal." |
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3661134.stm
This is a current link for one of the old links which explains why it's illegal:
http://www.cesr.org/downloads/Tearing%20up%20the%20Rules%20The%20Illegality%20of%20Invading%20IRaq%202003.pdf
There are others, of course, but none of them say, nor do I think I would say that all military actions, inside or outside of a country's own borders are a violation of international law. Where you may be confused is that I once (as in a while ago, not as in only once) said that I agreed with the WRL that war is a crime against humanity. I don't say that anymore as it is at best confusing, and at worst wrong, and I've kind of given up on the WRL. I think I've explained that the word crime in this instance is not a reference to international law, but another use of the word crime, as in injurious to the public. |

You are an imbecile. You have 13 pages so far of arguing against what other people are not actually saying, and now you have a thread here saying you didn't say what you actually said.
It's rather pitiful that you can't comprehend simple concepts like responsibility for actions, and just plain pathetic that you can't accept responsibility for your own words.

Rethinking my response here, so I deleted a couple of posts. Here's the thing. You said that I said something. You have failed to show that. Now you're insulting, you're diverting attention to another thread, you're worried about everything but backing up what you said. Please, I'm happy to find out that I'm wrong. I really am. I learn from that. Show me. Please show me.
Then tell me the Iraq war is not a criminal war in every use of the word criminal, and show me why it isn't. You just say things without backing them up. Back something up once. Show me I'm wrong. Please. Once. Show me something.
Show me that the U.S. is not part of the UN. Show me. Show me that there is no signed treaty that has some binding effect on the U.S. Show me that there is no international law that applies to the U.S. Show me. |

Dude: UN charter
