Actually, I won't argue at all, as international law is a global practical joke.

It's starting to take hold in the Balkans. There's the ICC. Things are moving. As I said, neither you nor I will live to see international law come to the power of national law, but it will happen.

I guess my use of irony is as poor as my post spacing.You had better explain democracy to me since you think i am ignorant of

it.To my understanding, to really be a duck you have to waddle ,quack,look and act like a duck to be considered a duck.

Democracy is just a word and and as i said before -dissent is democracy in action.That's why people are upset with Tories who

continually limit other voices and employ Bush regime tactics.(bad democracy)

Start with "wedge "issues ,huge omnibus bills,niqab nonsense,making laws that are overturned by the courts, etc etc.

Democracies,like ducks-must act like democracies or they are not democratic governments.Nazis called themselves National

Socialists but were really big fascists.Harper & Trudeau will not commit to proportional voting like Mulcair,May,Bloc and

many prominent Canadians as well as 35 successful countries, 80 with some form of it . Why not? Too democratic?

Left,right and center would all get a say and no more minority govts could act like majority bullies.Steve and Justin want

power at the expense of a better Canadian democracy.I fear you err when you say you don't tell others what their duty is.

Like me ,you are here to tell people your version of their duty.I would not trade much blood for oil because of our western

'hi-jacked" democracies.My earlier "ironies' were for the war lovers who risk nothing-paper tigers and rich swine.

As to world -UN is a farce with 5 member veto and yeah-we are all hypocrites domestically and internationally which is why Freud said 99% of us are trash.

Oh No! Freud was a 1%er? I didn't realise there was so much money in being a shrink. I missed my calling.

Yet you support it when it suits your political agenda on Ukraine.

Nope. I don't give a damn what you do.

I'm here for amusement and an occasional intelligent exchange of ideas. Too damn occasional, lately.

Well, if an Austrian charlatan said it, who could disagree?
