Kurds can help foreign powers invade their country, but because kids died in Halabja alongside the foreign troops they were helping invade the country, they're the good guys, it's such bullshit.

And if legality is determined by being punished, then some of the greatest monsters, mobsters, and murderers in history were in fact legally murdering people.

For the entire duration of their activity until they were punished, monsters, terrorists, and serial killers were thus committing legal acts.
Which means that in fact... they should not have been punished at all.

You're one step closer to understanding the relationship between law and power, my friend

I understand law. I understand power.

What I don't understand is how this relates to the fact that one can be powerful, and thus contravene the law, but not... make their actions actually legal.

Do you recognize that fact? That the strong breaking the law and going unpunished, which Americans of all people with your judicial system should be aware of, does not actually... change the law?

Murdering someone and failing to be punished does not make murder legal.

Illegaly invading a country despite the explicit wording of the American made Charter and going unpunished does not, actually, make your invasion any more legal.

The courts and myself say otherwise. Good thing we aren't like the vast majority of the world. We may pay Sultans instead of restoring the peace and conducting a friendly police action!

Good thing you aren't indeed. What would the rest of the developed world have be proud of if you too didn't have stories about toddlers shooting their mothers in the face?

Oh so kurdish perfidy is giving Saddam the slip
The answer here, of course, is simple: wouldn't you? What's one power denying you statehood worth over another, except the resources you can leverage out of em and how much resources they can waste blasting each other? Why that's simply good european learning.

To not thread jack this thread any longer, I'll end with a simple question, how's the wall coming along? You catch those illegals yet?

The only thing the Kurds want to do is betray their host state so they can take land from their neighbors. It's what they've always done, and they still do it. Even now, they are occupying non-Kurdish land and bussing their own people in.

Better than your bribes, but I understand, you are taking a page from your leader. Your thoughts must be too grandiose for us mere mortals to understand. One day I hope I can hear your thoughts on the Libya crossing migrants and not just the ones from Turkey!

As opposed to all the other Stateless nations of the world, which are textbook examples in docility. Just take the Kurds' neighbors, the Palestinians.

oh and good boi saddam dindu nothing, didn't wanna annex nothing from his neighbours or anything.
Really now, this is merely a matter of you preferring one form of military muscling over another, your preferred form involving sarin.

Tell that to your Parisians and their seperate space for the oppressed classes! Alas, you too have succumb to the infection. Unlike you however, our left didn't sell out its socialist name for neoliberal economic policies and migrants. Thats your so called Socialist party. Aren't you still a member of it? :^)

edit: The Sultan is rumbling for more money, will you appease him as you appeased Hitler? You may find no end to his appetite.

A quirk of post-Enlightenment law and the novel (as far as human history goes) idea that law is somehow detached from power. That most legal systems still exist in this state is an unstable bug that will self-correct in time.

Olerand wrote:Do you recognize that fact? That the strong breaking the law and going unpunished, which Americans of all people with your judicial system should be aware of, does not actually... change the law?

In the books, no, but in practice -- in real-law -- yes.

Tell that to Raskolnikov.

Olerand wrote:Illegaly invading a country despite the explicit wording of the American made Charter and going unpunished does not, actually, make your invasion any more legal.

The UN Charter is anything but explicit, and if it was explicit in its prohibition of non-mandated invasions, it still would not matter because law prostrates itself before power -- yes, even in your judicially-perfect France.
