27. The court's decision is not merely "projected towards Germany"....
Edited on Mon Oct-17-05 01:20 AM by Seabiscuit
Rather, far more importantly, it very clearly spells out exactly why the U.S. and U.K invasion of Iraq is a violation of international law, and details exactly why this administration's unjustifiable claims that it had the right to do so under U.N. Resolution 1441 and under prior U.N. resolutions is a pack of lies.

In its analysis and conclusions, the court is essentialy saying that this war is a war crime and that the U.S. and U.K. administrations that created this war are all war criminals.

THAT's significant. It could set a precedent; form the basis of future action by courts in other countries including the U.S. and U.K. as well as ultimately the international court of justice at the Hague.
