lezeee, liberal=Democrat=academic=buttmonkey=marxist? Have I got your formula right Tom?
No matter. The point made about Nicaragua was correct. The US was quilty of a violation of international law. The US was tried by the World Court of Justice. In retribution the US withheld its dues to the UN.
All of this has NOTHING to do with Iraq, or Saddam. But it does point out the US does not always wear a white hat.
The fact of the matter is that the US has often violated internation law, most often ignoring it when doing so promotes the interests of American business enterprises.
The US has made numerous interventions into other nations, violated hundreds of treaties, and yet the public tends to look with righteous indignation upon other states that do similar actions if they are contrary to US interests.
We are a curious people.
