War on Iraq is illegal according to accepted international law

• A former legal adviser to the British Foreign Office has said George Bush's war on terrorism is "legal nonsense" and confers no more power on the United States to detain people than the war against obesity.
• The British lady, Elizabeth Wilmshurst, is quite correct, too, that the war against Iraq was illegal and thus the occupation of Iraq was/is illegal.
• One of the things I hope Americans are learning, besides the fact that the war wasn't worth it, is that the rule of law is a farce.
• Like language, the law is twisted to justify what the Bush administration wants to do.
• Real terrorists, as opposed to people resisting occupation of their country or guerrillas fighting to overthrow a government, are criminals, and as criminals deserve to be hunted down.
• For all time, when bad governments wanted to increase their power, they spread fear and claimed the new power would allow them to "protect" the people.
• The threat of terrorism has been enormously exaggerated by this administration to justify a very un-American lust for power.
• Vice President Dick Cheney, who probably should see a psychologist as well as a cardiologist, continues to claim a connection, but what he calls a connection is one or two meetings in a period of years from which nothing ever came.
• This is an administration of sick puppies whose minds are haunted by lust for power, ideological phantoms and a profound contempt for the American people.
• Hopefully, in November, a majority of Americans will decide that this administration, like its illegal war, isn't worth re-electing.
