   Wait, if it is the International Community that writes International Law, right, and if the International Community doesn’t exist, then that International Law that our SCOTUS monarchs have been using to “interpret” the (plain English used in the) Constitution doesn’t exist, either, and that leaves us no branch of the Constitution that hasn’t raped it to tatters.

   Right?

   Lucky they have the children to point to as Prime Cause.

   Darleen, off-topic, but I really appreciated this post on Amy Alkon’s site…

   “The “pushback” you are experiencing here is because you decided to gratuitously insert some anti-religious bigotry in an otherwise good post about a false-rape case.”

   You said in one sentence what it took me several paragraphs to say less perfectly. Brava!

   – So when all the smoke and mirrors finally disapate from the fog bank of cover the mediots try so hard to give Bumblefuck, the first words out of his mouth are, as predicted, “…well the UN….um….ummm….uh….the UN needs to….umm…”

   – What a total and complete community organizer.

   Amy Alkon? Isn’t she that dipshit who drives around leaving notes on SUVs?

   There are many fictions that are taken for reality. The progressive left invents many of them as they find them useful.

   The Clinton era is a gift that keeps on giving. Unlike the lawless George W. Bush who went through the trouble of going to the UN and Congress to begin his illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Obama has learned from Clinton how useful is the loophole of “responsibility to protect”. If Obama uses Kosovo as a precedent, this will be the second time the US has intervened without the usual legal preliminaries to rescue a Muslim population.

   “Responsibility to Protect”, like racism, has as part of it that it is not who is the victim or what is happening to them that is what is most important, but who is to be designated the bad guy on whose back those in power wish to place a target. ROP is a means that is used when it can lead to the end sought, and not when it will not. Then it becomes “Responsibility to Ignore”.

   Amy Alkon?

   Never heard of her, but when I looked up her site Google marks her site as “may be compromised”.

   So not anywhere I would want to go…

   I like Alkon. She’s wrong about some things, and right about others, but she’s usually delightfully insolent.

    Doesn’t it seem as though the “Responsibility to Protect” never appears to come with a concomitant “Responsibility to be Right”, or a “Responsibility to take Responsibility for Failure to Protect”, and so on?

    Anyhow, the forward push of any “Responsibility to Protect” just doesn’t seem careful when placed in action or in the contexts in which it has been cynically used. It has instead the decided aroma of a political “looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it’s a duck” quackery to the tune of “Oh, no! It’s certainly a bald eagle!”.

    She’s no Kathy Shaidle, but she has her moments.
