ROTFLMAO – Ian Hurd justifying bombing Syria, and making the claim that the United States Government and State Department take international law seriously.
Seriously….? How much money does Northwestern pay this clown to spew his nonsense. I think Mr. Hurd should step up and wholeheartedly partake of the ongoing wars he promotes.
“But if the White House takes international law seriously — as the State Department does — it cannot try to have it both ways. It must either argue that an “illegal but legitimate” intervention is better than doing nothing, or assert that international law has changed — strategies that I call “constructive noncompliance.” In the case of Syria, I vote for the latter.
“This would be popular in many quarters, and I believe it’s the right thing to do. But if the American government accepts that the rule of law is the foundation of civilized society, it must be clear that this represents a new legal path.”
Ian Hurd, an associate professor of political science at Northwestern, is the author of “After Anarchy: Legitimacy and Power in the United Nations Security Council.”
Looks like Slick Willie Clinton back in Kosovo. Oh wait, that is Slick Willie. And George Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon, LBJ, Barack Obama, the US Congress, and the whole goddamn lot of unbridled warmongers subservient to death, destruction, and the non-negotiable American way of life.

Yes, indeed.
Thanks
Syria is on the neocon 7 hit list. So was Libya, and of course, Iraq.
