Saying that their is no such thing as international law is just a broken down fall back. There is international law, as is evidenced by the fact that US law schools push out thousands trained in that specific field every year, and, though there isn't some huge international jail, there are courts and trials and punishments and reparations. Sure, technically, the bug bad US is strong enough and still economically well-off enough to throw up the middle finger to such things, but I would think in the midst of all the political cartoons depicting Bush receiving a crow (in some form or another) from Chirac with an $87 billion price tag that we would have learned the fool-heartedness of such delusions of grandeur.
