Grumpy old war monger McCain went on a rant today stating, based upon some off-handed interpretation of Article 52 of the UN Charter that any nation could, at their discretion, legally attack another sovereign nation as long as they informed the security counsel. I am one who believes that NATO has no business in anything but for Big Bad Johnnie to use it to justify his personal desire to war with the planet is beyond rational thought. This guy has gone senile.

Article 2(4) of the UN Charter clearly forbids the use of force in international relations. It allows only two exceptions to this prohibition: Self-defense, as provided in Article 51, and military measures authorized by the Security Council. In an excited dissertation of the ficticious loophole in the UN charter, the senator quoted a verse of an article where Anne-Marie Slaughter takes the position that "regional organizations must notify the Security Council of their actions but not necessarily seek approval."

There is nothing remotely said about using the provision to start a war. Why does he believe it is okay to gone to another land and kill? It is his kind of mentality that promotes the continual war around the world and the never ending police state here in the U.S. It certainly is doing nothing to make the United States safer. It has nothing to do with securing our borders. Why Johnnie why??

When 2016 comes around I truly hope that people identify him for the evil soul he really is and find a candidate who believes in a reduced and limited federal government that will remove themselves from entangled alliances.
