The U.S. action in Iraq has fundamentally challenged the rule of law in the world and this is the domino effect…

The American attack on Iraq could be used as a precedent, using exactly the same arguments as President Bush, to justify an Indian attack on Pakistan or a North Korean attack on South Korea.

James Woolsey, former CIA, a Bush administration insider was recently mentioned in a leaked Pentagon document as one of the possible administrators of post-war Iraq. Last week in LA, he described the war in Iraq as the start of the Fourth World War, and warned that “this Fourth World War will last considerably longer than either the First or Second World Wars did for us.” He explained that the real enemies this time, were the religious rulers of Iran, the “fascists” of Iraq and Syria, and the Islamic extremists of al-Qaeda. He made no distinctions between them, and he promised a long crusade against them. There was no suggestion that the US would bother to get legal authority from the UN before attacking the sovereign states on his list.
