re: #453 Romantic Heretic

Well, I’m sympathetic to the left because we face a common adversary, but this makes me glad I’m not part of the left. You don’t need permission from the UN to go to war. If the case for war had been legitimate, that Iraq was trying to build weapons to either use themselves or give to another agent to attack us, it would have been a legitimate act. However, it was not true at the time, and it was blatantly not true at the time. This whole “Pax Americana” concept is a far left fantasy. That piece you linked to was an edited version of an incoherent opinion piece (not a work based on fact so you can’t use it as a premise to support an argument).
