I have a different interpretation of this comment. I don't read "the war was illegal" - I read "the concept of international law is a useless, meaningless joke."

Yep, that's what I got out of it as well. It's not surprising that democrats and the Guardian would see it differently. They think Bush planted those bombs this morning after all.

How about "the concept of the UN when it comes to doing the right thing is a useless, meaningless joke."

The UN Charter is no more binding on the United States than any other treaty.
