[QUOTE]Originally posted by DT: [QB] I'm just so busy posting... but Baloo, I think I have more on the war of agression. This isn't technically in that vein, but it does have to do with what a legal war is. Per the UN Charter (which is the Supreme law of the land, whether anti-UN nuts want to admit it or not) the use or threat of force against other nations except in self defence to an armed attack is only allowed if it is authorized by the Security Council. Now, I'm not a big fan of the Security Council, but it can often work to a positive goal. As many reservations as I have about the Gulf War, it was legal. The current bombings, however, are not. And the war against Serbia was likewise illegal. Now, for those who are sure of the might of NATO, I point you to Article 53 which states that "no enforcement action shall be taken under regional arrangements or by regional agencies without the authorization of the Security Council." There ya go then. [/QB][/QUOTE]
