The U.S. does not need UN approval to go to war. Or do you think the U.S. should be ruled by the UN?

So US can do whatever they fancy, but other countries cannot?

WHY then invoke, day in, day out, “the respect of international law” if the US doesn’t care a straw about it???

I see.

The US bombed Lybia back into the stone-age using NATO as a big stick. Out of all of them, the two I was most disgusted with was Sarkozy and Cameron. Kissy-kissy with Gaddafi one moment, bombing the cities and killing the civilians the next. The US didn’t need approval because they manipulated NATO. Are you proud of that?

I don’t recall the UN giving the US permission to bomb the entire country to rubble. IIRC., any permission was couched in terms of protection for civilians.

This, along with the killing of Serbian civilians and the handover to the muslims of Kosovo, leaves a permanant stain on your pride. If it doesn’t, it aught to.
