Marcia Mitchell, Truthout: "Has anyone in Washington noticed? The new US raids into Pakistan and Syria are, as was the invasion of Iraq, in blatant violation of international law. But who's keeping track of this sort of thing? Certainly not senior US officials, who apparently have weighed the negative consequences of illegal military operations against their perceived benefits and opted in favor of the latter."

US Above The Law

What About Syria's and Pakistan's Sovereignty?

By Jacob G. Hornberger

If the Iraqi regime fails to sign an agreement by the December 31 deadline, that's not going to stop Bush from employing his army any way he wants. That's what he's doing with Syria and Pakistan, and that's what he will continue doing with Iraq. And it will all be legal, agreement or no agreement, because in Bush's mind whatever the U.S. government does is automatically legal.

The sovereignty of an independent, stable country that has carried out many constructive moves in recent months and weeks, which could have surely contributed to the stabilization of the Middle East, has been violated, its borders breached and its civilians killed. But when the country targeted is Syria, an Arab country, and the perpetrator is the US military, then, somehow things are not as appalling as they may seem.
