OT; afghan war illegal?

[chantaje]

i dont present my point very well at all. ill try again:



The UN Charter is a treaty ratified by the United States and thus part of US law. Under the charter, a country can use armed force against another country only in self-defense or when the Security Council approves. Neither of those conditions was met before the United States invaded Afghanistan. The Taliban did not attack us on 9/11. Nineteen men – 15 from Saudi Arabia – did, and there was no imminent threat that Afghanistan would attack the US or another UN member country. The council did not authorize the United States or any other country to use military force against Afghanistan. The US war in Afghanistan is illegal.
— Marjorie Cohn, professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, president of the National Lawyers Guild


also, bin laden (he was in pakistan all the time like you said) is dead now.
i thought that was the main "reason" to ocuppy afghanistan.

to put it in perspective it would be the same situation if usa invades mexico becouse of the drugs cartels with no connections at (at least oficcials) with the gob of mexico.
or if china invade usa couse of the chinese mafia operating in usa.

ps. i think that we can mantain this civ enougth to keep it open.
