re: Threats of force are a violation of international law

How amusing: "International Law" is exactly what the powerful countries wish it to be. You are living in a dream world.

For example: It is against "International Law" to interfere in the internal politics of another country. For decades, the USSR trained, equipped, and supplied terrorists and revolutionaries throughout the world. They took over quite a few countries, and began long civil wars in others. What did "International Law" do about it? Nothing.

The United States determined (perhaps correctly, perhaps incorrectly) that the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq was a threat to it. Therefore, the United States invaded Iraq and removed this regime, and is in the process of replacing it with one more favorable to the United States. What did "International Law" do to prevent this? Nothing.

Israel was attacked by the surrounding countries in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973. What did "International Law" do about it? Nothing.

In short, "International Law" is a big joke.
