133. International law has no teeth if there is no power behind it to

Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 11:50 PM by googly

enforce the law. There is no one in the world strong enough
to force the US to do anything. If we did not have a well
armed police force for example, we can write laws till we
are blue in the face, but they would be meaningless since
we could not enforce them. The International laws as they
exist, do not have a strong enough police force to enforce
them on a miltary super power.
