The Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia describes "piracy" thus: "A pirate is one who robs or plunders (at sea) without a commission from a recognized sovereign nation. Pirates usually target other ships, but have also attacked targets on shore. These acts are known as piracy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy If one were to simply expunge the words "at sea" it would acurately describe what the United States has done in Iraq. The "commission from a recognized sovereign nation" was not in effect as the Congressional authorisation for invasion was conditional upon the establishment of fact that Iraq was connected to either "Al Queda" or that a direct link to 9-11 could be drawn. Neither of these Congressional pre-conditions were met, although the US miltary has gone into a sovereign nation under the flag of no authorization and plundered it and decimated it's infrastructure, slaughtering it's civilian population. This is an act of global piracy; and pirates, like mercenaries, are afforded very little "rights" having acted outside the sanctions of legitimacy. The UN has declared the invasion illegal under international law.It has already been shown that the invasion was also illegal under US law, therefore the insurgents (the invading army of US/UK and Australian troops) are by all legal definitions, pirates and should be addressed as such by an intrenational war crimes and piracy tribunal, and those found responsible (the entire Bush/Zionist cabal) made to personally pay restitution and penalty for their crimes. Rumours already have a joint US/Israeli sneak attack on Iran's defenses as being on paper simply awaiting the selection (not a typo)on Nov 2. This would bring to three sovereign nations invaded on false pretences for the benefit of the Zionist agenda and control of middle eastern oil. Iran, unlike Iraq, has not been beaten down with 13 years of murderous sanctions not has it's infrastructure been destroyed and it's armed forces are in very good shape, supported by and advised by Russia and cosying up to the Chinese of late as well. Any venture into Iran will not be as relatively easy as Iraq was and may in fact be the Rubicon that will not be crossed and could easily envision the US "having" to resort to nukes as their ground forces and air power will be faced with sudden resistance of the kind that will make Iraq look like the touted "cake walk" they assumed it would be. This is only my opinion, of course.
