This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive. ~

I care not for a text book legal definition, I am asking what in your mind defines an illegal war. Also which Presidents of ours, if any, are guilty of this and why? Should they go on trial? What in your opinion would an adequate punishment be?

If it violates treaties we have signed or UN mandates with which we have joined it is illegal IMO.
Obviously there has to be some sort of enforcement mechanism in place, though, or the legality becomes irrelevant...which is the main reason why you'll never see a president prosecuted for something like that.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.
