    If the most powerful military force in the world is benevolent and wise then
    we will live in a happy world, if it's brutal and stupid then we won't; this
    stuff that some call "international law" just doesn't enter into it. You can
    say that's a terrible thing and hell I might say it myself, and if I was God
    I'm sure I could have done much better but unfortunately I was not given the
    job so that's just the way it is.

    "International Law" is a silly term anyway, a "law" means things must happen
    this was as in the laws of motion or it means punishment will result from
    law enforcers. "International Law" is neither of these as was recently shown
    when Iraq thumbed its nose at UN resolution 1441 and the UN did nothing;
    therefore I think the term "International Law" should be retired on this
    list and replaced with what it actually is "International Suggestions".
