Yeah, and wasn't it Vattel's conception of natural law that led him to conclude that, "Every citizen owes his personal service to his country"? And, wasn't it his conception of natural law that forced him to conclude that "the public authority has certainly a right to use constraint if necessary" to prevent its citizens from escaping to another country.

And, you believe that we, as Americans are obliged to slavishly adopt as our own Vattel's other views on citizenship?

Is it your conception of natural law that compels us to look to Vattel for the one and only true theory of citizenship?

It really doesn't get much crazier than this!

Such obvious mischaracterizations do not inspire much in the way of rebuttal.
