With all due respect, Karen, anyone as big and powerful as the US writes his own rules (masculine intended). Also appreciate that pillage has always been a normal part of conquest.[snip]
Well, you'd think "we" could write our own rules, wouldn't you?
But just like a zillionaire who smokes a carton of Gauloises a day is not immune from lung cancer, so too, "we" are not inmune from 3rd world nobodies blowing holes in our most advanced destroyer warships or knocdking down our biggest skyscrapers with our own planes. Damn those AlQaeda oncogenes!
But we aren't even into enlightened pillaging: This week the NYT said that Iraq's oil reserves are becoming increasingly unrecoverable due to the oilfields not being maintained right.
