While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan and the Philippines defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Ari Fleischer, White House Press Secretary, in a statement to the national media, says that de facto Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) is in favor of scrapping three and a half centuries of international law, by advocating that the United Nations invade Iraq for the purpose of removing dictator Saddam Hussein from power. 

       NOTE: Since 1648, the Treaty (Peace) of Westphalia has prohibited the invasion of another nation for the sole purpose of meddling in its internal affairs.
