4thTimeLucky, I must confess I was being sarcastic in response to Wolfowitz's flippant reference to international law as "bureaucratic reasons" and the intense "after the fact" focus on the liberation "reason" and dismissal of the WMD issue - I may have gone overboard in my sarcasm.
I know of the huge legal issues that are raised by the idea of humanitarian intervention, and the importance of state sovereignty. I actually think the subject could have its own thread, considering the Europeans might now be sending troops into The Congo.
