But international law is a different matter entirely. It generally forbids pre-emptive attacks on other nations. Many argue that Bush's war is illegal under international law. See the links I posted earlier about that.



That opens up a whole issue of whether or not international law has any right to exist at all, and what powers it has over sovereign nations (if any).

I look at our Constitution as the supreme law of our land, and it in no way provides for the existence or power of any form of international law. Therefore, Bush had the legal authority to invade Iraq by the highest legal authority having power over him.
