Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Well, I am afraid they are.  That is why we have national laws upheld by national governments.  As long as I abide by the laws in the respective country I am entitled to do what I want.  We have of course international law, but with no means of enforcing it.  

And I seem to remember that it was not only The US and some European countries that "occupied" Iraq.  If I remember correctly Australia is also in the "Coalition of the willing".

Yap unfortunately you are right about Australia...but I just wanted to make a point there. Of course you know that I am naturalized Australian and first of all Serb and European ...I tried my best as a citizen of Australia to stop Howard's decision, I protested with others...but you know...
There are national and international laws but also there is a "common sense". We are asked to use a common sense when super and other powers are about to do the things against and outside the law (like occupying and bombarding other people's countries) but we are not to use it if we are not told by them...

Well, common sense seems to be a relative term in this case. :)
