Thanks for the van. Leave the title in the glovebox, will you?
That sort of thing has been illegal, immoral and wrong since the dawn of time among civilized peoples.
And do you really, really consider it legal, when it violates charters, such as the UNs, which the US has signed?
And why do you think the US tried so hard to get the Security Council to approve that war? To try to make it legal.
And they didn't.
Interested in what you regard as legal. From what you've said, I could come over and steal your van and it would be OK. Burn down your house in the process. All I'd have to do is say I thought you were going to steal my bike. That's enough to make it legal!!??
