The worst they can do to any violators of their regulations is nag incessantly. I was merely saying that they viewed the war as illegal, in reference to the specific regulation in question, and to their charter, which opposes the unilateral action of member states when acting under the banner of the entire UN.As I said, this is largely a semantic point. But I think that the issue of illegality begs a semantic consideration, since it is such an ambiguous term. Does it refer to religious or moral laws? Domestic ones? International? In this case, it refers to the â€œlawâ€ of the UN. And obviously, not all are granted equal authority over our presidentâ€™s actions.</blockquote>
