The US = credibility on the international scene lost forever. When a US diplomat opens his mouth, it's like listening to Soviets. Lies, lies and lies.

not to nitpick but invasion of iraq was legally justified by saddam violating the terms of surrender from the first gulf war. If it had not been france could have demanded and gotten george bush tried for war crimes.
If you want a better example of the US flaunting the law the dispute over soft lumber with Canada, they lost ever step of the way and still refused to pay the full penalty.
The canadian government caved on the demand and let them off the hook because the US threatened sanctions.
should be interesting to see if antiqua replaced the gambling hosting with pirate hosting to recover their losses.
