"Extreme Lawlessness" (which includes cultural
genocide) ...
"The video also contains some very interesting
observations regarding the way
that the destruction of important
ancient heritage sites in Iraq was also a
breach of international
law -- observations which equally apply I suspect to
what our own
Government has done near the Hill of Tara, and is just about to
do
again in the Turoe area of County Galway (see at
https://www.indymedia.ie/article/84679#comment209964

"The reckless destruction of world heritage sites is
tantamount to cultural
genocide. The Hague Convention for the
protection of cultural property defines
such acts as 'violations
of international law'." (From:

"The Iraq War: Legal or
Illegal?"
by Raymond Fri Oct 17, 2008 20:40
The
very straightforward and convincing examination of the basic facts
in the 24
minute video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Khut8xbXK8
strongly suggests
that not only was the 2003 invasion of Iraq
completely illegal under
international law, but that the whole
sick and extremely rotten business was
also very clearly and
fully in breach of the United States Constitution.
"It's just
a goddamned piece of paper!" -- President George W. Bush's view
of
the US Constitution, as related at
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/89452#comment237415In
addition, it is further claimed in this video that, among several
other
things, the ongoing occupation of Iraq by the United States
is illegal under
international law as well.
"The video
also contains some very interesting observations regarding the
way

Iraq was also a

The Pinky Show

Raymond, thanks
very much for putting up the link to the 24 minute 'Pinky
Show
Video'. It's a brilliant and simple summary of the
illegality surrounding the
invasion and continuing occupation of
Iraq (which has now had well over 1.8
million youtube "views"
apparently). I'd recommend it to anyone interested in
non-violent
protest.
