[Nick Danger]

There was no suggestion that the US would bother to get legal authority from the United Nations before attacking the sovereign states on his list.

The idea that the United Nations is a planetary government that dispenses "authority" is in some dispute. It should not be used as the hidden assumption in an argument, even if the person doing so is a lying, liberal stooge.

Correct Nick. The error that is so obvious to those with a brain is this: even if the UN WAS a world legislator, it could not render an unjust war just, nor could it make a just one unjust by witholding legal consent. Otherwise, there could not have been a just war in the history of the world before the UN came along. Law is subordinate to ethics, that is why we can judge laws to be just or unjust. Beside, UN votes are bought with bribes, how is that going to make any decision 'just'.
