"The Iraq War:
Legal or Illegal?" by Raymond Fri Oct 17, 2008
20:40The very straightforward and
convincing examination of the basic facts in the 24 minute
video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Khut8xbXK8 strongly suggests that not
only was the 2003 invasion of Iraq completely illegal under
international law, but that the whole sick and extremely
rotten business was also very clearly and fully in breach
of the United States
Constitution.
"It's just a goddamned
piece of paper!" -- President George W. Bush's view
of the US Constitution, as related at
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/89452#comment237415In
addition, it is further claimed in this video that, among
several other things, the ongoing occupation of Iraq by the
United States is illegal under international law as
well.

Raymond, thanks very much for
putting up the link to the 24 minute 'Pinky Show Video'. It's
a brilliant and simple summary of the illegality surrounding
the invasion and continuing occupation of Iraq (which has now
had well over
1.8
million youtube "views" apparently).
I'd recommend it to anyone interested in non-violent
protest.
