it's ironic so few people have watched this great video. Am i the only Belgian guy without a degree of any kind, who is watching this great man? Read Tom Hodgkinson!
They don't turn our sovereignty over to global consensus, we have the option of renegotiating or ending treaties by law, the same way we enter into them, but it is in the constitution, and yes, the founders put it there, that if we choose to enter into a treaty, unless we legally end that treaty, it is law in the U.S. This in no way supercedes or overrules the constitution, but under the constitution, it IS the law, and WE chose it to be.
It doesn't supercede the Constitution, but treaties to which the U.S. has agreed legally are equally considered "the law of the land", as is the Constitution.
Every injustice, is over something else being of worth, than one another's well-being! History is Experience. Experience is the teacher! Discretion is the leader! Understanding is the Way of Counsel! It's the well-being of one another that's TRUELY of worth! Not something else! How Honest are you?
Read the UN Charter. International law (which the US played a very large role in forming and, according to the Constitution, is the "supreme law of the land") makes it very clear that this war was an unprovoked act of aggression.
Article VI This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
Seving your country is one thing. Serving a U.S. corporation is another. Our military does not - or should not - work for a coporation. Our politicians are great at getting the populace riled up about fighting for our country. War in America is good for business. Got no problem with that either. but it shouold be called what it is and not dressed up as something for "our country".
Unintelligent? It is hard to even respond to that comment considering he may be one of the most intelligent people to have participated in the field of history. Pick up a book and read A People's History of the United States. There is a reason professors all over the world use it as a text and its not because he is unintelligent!
The UN exists because we created it, and it has authority because we gave it authority. We can go against the UN if we choose to by ending our treaties, but to act against our treaties without ending them is to act outside the law under our own constitution. If you want to negate international authority, ask Congress and the president to end our treaties, but don't advocate breaking our own constitutional law by just acting like they don't exist.
I think everyone agrees that Saddam was a terrible, terrible person, and the crimes he committed are absolutely unforgivable. But still, the invasion of Iraq was illegal. Furthermore, Saddam was supported by the UK and the US for a very long time, empowering the tyrant and preventing the Iraqis from toppling his regime. This is all common knowledge.
Nahh. I'm not ignorant because I use profanity. If you're a military person I've got no problem with you becuase of it. Some of the finest individuals I've known have a military bacjground. However, whether or not you've served in the military has no bearing on the policy that is made for the nation.
