"Who is this guy?" you ask Rayelan. Why don't you ask me directly? My name is posted in plain English and you can send me an e-mail. Why ask somebody else? My name is Christopher Bollyn, clear enough, and I am a correspondent for American Free Press in Washington, D.C. (see americanfreepress.net). "I do not agree with his statement," you write, that "U.S. forces [are] engaged in an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq." You may not agree with that statement, however, can you tell me since when is a pre-emptive attack legal? Was Pearl Harbor legal? Was the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 legal? Perhaps you did not follow the international discussions on the legality of the Anglo-American agression of Iraq. It appears you did not. I did, however. The French, Germans, Russians, Norwegians, and a host of other nations opposed the war in Iraq, precisely because it is not legal! Perhaps you forgot how the Brits and the U.S. tried to get a second resolution to allow them to wage war legally. Do you recall how they failed and then tried to provide legal cover from previous resolutions? An illegal invasion which becomes an occupation does not become legal with time. The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Jerusalem does not become legal with time. What was created in an illegal manner remains a crime.
