#1 Now if were all impoverished, pacifistic citizens of a socialist world government everything would be a-ok, right Irene?

#2 "The United States continues to pick and choose which bits of its obligations under international law it will use, and when it will use them" Nope. See, there is no such thing as "International Law", albeit there are the Maritime Laws and the Geneva Conventions, to which we adhere - but they are "gentlemen's agreements", not actual laws.

"Afghanistan does not present a record of which the international community can be proud." Well, not since the UN and EU said they'd handle it. First the EU's German cops threatened to leave when they found out they might actually be shot at, and then in respect to the Northern Warlords taking control of large areas the UN declined to send troops because "it is a problem of the central government, not ours." Good thing we still have troops there...
